By this point the majority of birtherstan is firmly convinced that the judge in the Georgia Birther Ballot Jihad hearing gave them everything they wanted (and a pony) before the hearing, but the birtherstani attorneys just decided to go ahead with the hearing and their nonexistent "merits". However, we already have one ruling from the Judge that tells Dr. Orly she doesn't get one thing she wanted or a pony.

Some news video, along with a few YouTube hostings of the hearing footage, courtesy of Joseph Farah's buddy and comrade in arms Floyd Brown. Which meshes with the articles World Nut Daily managed to excrete without actually having had a reporter at the hearing.

Dr. Orly is in Media Whore Heaven. Sharon Meroni realizes she doesn't have what she needs to challenge Obama in Illinois after all. And the police officer in Arizona who thought it would be fun to post a picture of teens with rifles and a shot up Obama shirt tells the Secret Service "was that wrong? should I not have done that??"

26 January - Someone tripped over the cord at the Pest and eFail today. As a result while they mop the beer out of the cabinet, things are being hosted at the conspiracy blog "Gulag Bound".

Like this one about the birther ballot jihad hearing in Georgia.

"In closing, this case is about the Constitution,” Irion said. We’ve shown that Barack Obama’s father was never a citizen…and that means he is not constitutionally qualified…Finally, the defendant was ordered to be here, and I wish to state on the record that that shows not just a contempt for this court…”

Then Irion was interrupted and stopped speaking."

She doesn't mention it was the judge who told Van Irion to zip it.

"Taitz utilized a projector on the wall to the right of the judge as an aid in her presentation. She then stated that evidence existed that Obama possessed Indonesian citizenship, to which the judge was heard by this writer to say, “That’s not relevant.” Taitz then discussed the court’s decision in Minor v. Happersett and was interrupted by the judge, who said, “Counselor, can you save your argument for the closing?” She then stopped speaking."

Sounds like someone didn't realize the level of circus he was in for.

"Regarding the number of Obama’s purported birth record, Vogt stated that “federal regs” require that “all birth certificate numbers have to be sequential, starting on January 1.”

Funny, I have yet to find any such regs, and I've been looking.

Here's something amusing, federal regs don't even require that birth certificates be issued! They simply mandate what should on such a birth certificate. Florida was the last state to mandate all births be accompanied by a birth certificate, and this was in 1963.

“We have another boy who from 1968-69 was in Hawaii,” she said. The judge then said, “Are you testifying? Do you know how?” which brought laughter from the assembly."

I guess they can't tell sarcasm when they hear it.

"Taitz asked Judge Malihi to order the release of Obama’s records in Hawaii and to hold Obama in “contempt of court” for failing to appear at the hearing.

The judge said, “Thank you” and adjourned the court at 11:12 a.m."

In other words, "No", and "FREE AT LAST!"

26 January - Video (complete with the crappy audio) from the Birther Ballot Jihad hearing is posted on YouTube by "floydb310", aka GOP dirty trickster and Joseph Farah cohort Floyd Brown

Part One

Part Two

26 January - Speaking of Floyd Brown, the "Western Center for Journalism", which he runs with Joseph Farah, has their take on the Birther Ballot Jihad hearing.

"Court was in session at 9 am sharp; proceedings began with the judge meeting privately with all attorneys associated with the case (you know, at least those who showed up) for more than twenty minutes. According to various sources, he told them that since Obama was not present that he would be issuing a default judgment in their favor; he also initially wanted to end the case right then and there. However, the attorneys insisted on holding speedy hearings in which witnesses could testify and evidence would be entered into the court’s records. The judge honored their request."

How do they know this? They cited Carl Swensson's claim!

"What everyone is awaiting now from the judge is an official publishing of today’s ruling, again a default judgment for the plaintiffs. Swenson says “we won” and that it is now “time for the rest of the States to take my lead and duplicate this effort.”

And so a birther meme is born.

"In short, the “birthers,” who have been ridiculed if not ignored by the media and much of the American public for the past three years, have officially been vindicated today."

Actually they got shown to be a batch of conspiracy minded dolts. With egg on their faces if this so-called "default judgement" turns out to be Yet Another Birther Lie/

26 January - MEE!! MEE!!! IT'S ALL ABOUT MEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!! (malware and redirect warning)

"I JUST SAW A CLIP OF MY INTERVIEW TO ABC ATLANTA
Posted on | January 26, 2012 "

And that's all she posted.

26 January - Atlanta NBC 11's video on the Birther Ballot Jihad hearing.

wnload/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash">

Bonus, they talked to the birther debunkers as well.

26 January - NBC Atlanta also posts their news story about the Birther Ballot Jihad hearing.

And one of the better debunking websites out there got a hat tip:

"One group proudly called themselves the "anti-birthers."

"This whole birther movement is a pack of lies from beginning to end," said Bill Bryan of North Carolina.

"I think today's hearing was an embarrassment to the state of Georgia that they would even have a hearing like this. It's all based on claims to delegitimize the president."

Bryan runs a website dedicated to debunking the "birther" theories."

26 January - At "All Voices". Harold Michael Harvey points out a logical conclusion of Van Irion's argument.

"Welden's attorney, Van R. Irion, argued that under the constitution before the 14th amendment both parents had to be citizens for an offspring to meet the requirement of natural born citizen. Additionally, Irion told the court that the enactment of the 14th amendment did nothing to eliminate the requirement of both parents being citizens for a child to become a natural born citizen. He went on to add that if a person was ineligible to run for president before the enactment of the 14th amendment, he would still be ineligible to run for president after it.

At this point Irion's voice trailed off. He did not have to state the obvious; if his reasoning is correct, the office of the President is reserved to descendants of free born parents before Lincoln freed the Africans enslaved on these shores."

Van Irion is on the board of directors for a Neo-Confederate group and has fought (and lost) some so-called "Southern Heritage" lawsuits. It's quite possible - if not likely - he has the same contempt for the so-called "Reconstruction Amendments" (which include the 14th) that many of his fellow Neo-Confederates have.

And it's a matter of belief among some of the more racially-motivated Neo-Confederates that any non-white citizen is a "14th amendment citizen" and not a "natural born" citizen. We've seen this belief crop up from time to time in birtherstan as well.

"Mr. Irion asked the court to sanction President Obama for his failure to produce documents and to present himself for questioning in this matter."

"That uppity BOY didn't show us his papers. You gotta punish his darkie ass for that!"

"At one point the hearing took on an atmosphere of a Saturday Night Live skit when Judge Malihi interrupted Orly Taitz, the Euro Asian, who grew up in the Soviet Union and is representing the lead plaintiffs in this case and asked her if she wanted to testify. She jumped to the opportunity and raced to the witness stand before Judge Malihi could object. She took a seat in the witness box, took the oath to tell the truth and proceeded to rant on and on about fraud and deceit in high places in the government."

Crass, brazen, unprofessional, and totally without any class. Yep, that's Dr. Orly.

"The name Obama was mentioned over two dozen times, but never President Obama. Ms. Taitz did refer to the president as Mr. Obama three times. All of the white males who testified referred to the president as either he or him or Obama."

Not at all surprising. They can't stand to acknowledge him as President. Hell, they can hardly stand to acknowledge him as a human being.

27 January - At the Pest and eFail's temporary home at Gulag Bound, we have an interesting idea (by which I mean, really stupid). The idea of having "Sovereign Voters" go to the Electoral college, rather than, oh, the people that the voters in a state actually CHOSE to go for them.

"Let’s get this straight. If you are a registered voter, you are an elector. Your vote is in no way inferior to those cast by the Party-appointed members to the Electoral College.

Per the 12th Amendment, “the electors, all of them individual and appointed, shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President…. “
You are a Presidential elector if you hold a voter’s franchise granted to you by your State. That the election has two parts and is considered indirect as opposed to the direct elections of State Officials is irrelevant. It is considered an indirect election because the Nation is voting for Federal Officers and the voting results are a compilation of State vote results. There is no National voter franchise per Bush v Gore (2000). Thus, the Electoral College is the Federal component of the election for a President, while the popular vote remains the State component."

Right. You just show up at the Electoral College in December of 2012, and see how seriously they take you.

27 January - Jay Bookman at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution throws some cold water on the birthers victory lap.

"According to the birther movement, Malihi told their lawyers during pre-hearing conference that he would enter a “default judgment” against Obama for refusing to appear and for refusing to even send lawyers to participate in the hearing, and that he would in fact recommend Obama’s removal.

I think that’s highly dubious. I know you will be shocked to hear this, but Orly Taitz and others have a record of claiming important legal victories that turn out to be inglorious defeats. Among other things, it keeps the contributions flowing in. Nothing presented in the absurdist comedy of that courtroom yesterday would justify barring a sitting president of the United States from the Georgia ballot. It was a farce. The birthers’ only chance is a recommendation from Malihi based not on their “evidence,” but on the refusal of the Obama camp to put up a defense against it."

And if the judge does decide to play nice with the birthers??

"Regardless of what Malihi recommends, Kemp does not want to become the Republican secretary of state who ruled Barack Obama off the ballot in Georgia. Becoming a birther hero would not begin to compensate for the lasting infamy such a step would bring him, especially because such a ruling would be challenged in state or federal court and almost immediately overturned on any number of reasons. Kemp would then look like a fool and put an end to any further political ambitions he might have. I doubt that’s the course he will choose to take."

27 January - Sharon Meroni tries to explain away the withdrawal of their signature challenge.

Now on 17 January, on her internet radio show (MP3), she played a claim by Chris Cleveland that 3000 of the 5000 signature on Obama's petition are from people who are not registered to vote, which would then knock Obama off the primary ballot.

(Note, Meroni was part the lawsuit filed with Chris Cleveland and Steve Boulton to challenge those signatures)

Needless to say, Sharon Meroni was ALL over this one. Except, as it turned out, they were wrong.

"During the records review of the petition signatures, held at Illinois State Board of Election offices in downtown Chicago, ISBE clerks called “Checkers”, rule on each challenged voter signature on a line by line basis though comparison with ISBE records on computer screens. In this case, over 3,000 individual reviews had to occur. On respective sides of the Checker are single representatives of each party, who notes each ruling, and asserts the party’s position.

After six hours of checking at eight computer terminals, a substantial ongoing effort by 40 Board employees and volunteers, we determined in the final stages of the records check that Mr. Obama had reclaimed sufficient signatures to cross the 3000 mark required for ballot placement. Through close review and extensive use of pocket calculators, we had to face the mathematical reality that the President was certain to prevail on the challenge, and consequently instructed our counsel to file papers to withdraw the Objection to avoid using additional hours of effort and time. No further action will follow."

So in other words, they made a mistake and were wrong in their claim. However, Sharon Meroni can't admit she made a mistake, so she weasel-worded her entry to make it sound like Obama did something underhanded to make up those supposed missing signatures.

She's just as dishonest and hypocritical as ever.

27 January - Looks like Van Irion has a mad that that uppity darkie didn't appear at their birther ballot jihad hearing.

"One of the attorneys who argued before a Georgia judge today that Barack Obama is ineligible to have his name on the state’s 2012 presidential ballot says the president’s decision to snub the court system and ignore the hearing is a dangerous precedent that threatens the foundation of the United States.

“We have a president who has openly refused to comply with a legal order of the judicial branch,” Van Irion told WND after today’s hearing before Administrative Law Judge Michael Malihi concluded in Atlanta."

First off, it wasn't a "legal order of the judicial branch". It was a subpoena issued by another attorney in the case that was only valid in the state of Georgia.

Second off, the attorney who issued it was the SAME ONE you and the other attorney tried to separate from and distance yourself from. And now you want to suck up to Dr. Orly's subpoena storm??

Right…….

“If this doesn’t lead to impeachment proceedings, everyone in Congress is as responsible,” he said."

"Wahhhh! That uppity darkie is STILL PRESIDENT!!!"

27 January - Oh look. World Nut Daily talks to Leo Donofrio.

"One of the attorneys who challenged Barack Obama’s eligibility to be president all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court says he fears that even if the justices declared Obama constitutionally unqualified, he’d simply ignore the ruling and continue issuing orders.

But those who observed a court hearing today in Atlanta say it could be the beginning of the end for the Obama campaign, because of the doubt that could surge like a tidal wave across the nation.

The comments came today from Leo Donofrio, who led the pack in filing lawsuits over Obama’s 2008 election and his subsequent occupancy of the White House."

Yeah, but it's the same attorney who believes he's an avatar of God, and that Black Helicopters dog his every move.

“If the judge’s recommendation – and I’ve been told that it’s going to be to disqualify Mr. Obama as a candidate – is followed by the secretary of state, Mr. Obama has got a real problem,” said Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation."

There's that rumor again. And it's not like Gary Kreep has been wrong about such cases before.

Oh, right. He has.

"Mario Apuzzo, who also shepherded a case to the Supreme Court, said Obama, by not showing, “actually failed to meet his burden of proof, to show that he is eligible and should be placed on the ballot.”

“For him to just ignore due process here is really telling a lot,” he said, noting, “This decision will have a ripple effect.”

*Rolls eyes* The amazing thing is that these so-called "attorneys" really seem to think that the President was commanded to appear, show his happens, and dance a jig for the gather birtherstani.

He wasn't. The only "command" came from a subpoena that wasn't valid outside of that state.

"Charles Kerchner, on whose behalf one of the cases went to the Supreme Court, said, “Obama thinks he is a king and thus not subject to the election laws of Georgia and the United States Constitution. He will soon learn otherwise.”

He continued, “As the Georgia secretary of state said in warning Obama and his attorney if they did not show.up for the court hearing today … if they do that, they will do so at their own peril.”

Kreep said a ruling that would remove Obama’s name from the Georgia ballot would be a “tremendous victory for … America.”

Yes, I'm sure the appearance of a Southern, GOP-dominated state removing the first African-American president from the ballot because he didn't "show his papers" is going to be a great victory……

……for the Democrats

Oh, and it's funny, but no interview with Dr. Orly…..

27 January - Crooks and Liars does an piece on the Birther Ballot Jihad hearing in Georgia.

"It's almost unbelievable to me that we've got a court in Georgia actually willing to give credence to Taitz and her ilk, but sadly this is one of the places we're at in American politics today with a Republican Party that's desperate to hold onto power no matter what it takes and that have little use for democracy or winning elections by means other than cheating and rigging the system and with buffoons like Taitz willing to help them along . It's just shameful and that's the nicest thing I can think of to say about Taitz's case, the idiotic judge, or the state of Georgia for allowing some wing nut like this judge to ever be allowed to hold public office.

It's bad enough we've got to worry about electronic voting machines and whether votes will be counted or not in the upcoming election, but we get to add this sort of nonsense to the mix as well. It's nothing short of disgusting and shameless and destructive to what's left of our democracy. A fraud like Taitz should not be allowed to affect whether Americans can vote to reelect the legitimately previously elected President of the United States."

27 January - It seems the word from the Judge in the Georgia Birther Ballot Jihad is:

(Scribd link here)

"Order: The parties may file any post hearing pleadings by Wednesday, February 1, 2012. The Court will issue a recommendation to the Secretary of State shortly thereafter. The Court has reviewed the motion by Plaintiffs, Farrar, Lax, Judy, Malaren, and Roth, to direct and/or request the Court in Hawaii to order the release of certain Hawaii documents to the Plaintiffs. This Court lacks jurisdiction or authority to direct or request documents from Hawaii. Plaintiffs' motion is denied.

SO ORDERED, this the 27th day of January, 2012. "

So, no decision, oh, and Dr. Orly, no, you can't have letters rogatory, not yours.

And how interesting. It's addressed to all the parties, not just the plaintiffs or parties-plaintiff.......

27 January - As well they should.

"The US Secret Service is investigating an Arizona cop after he posted a photo online showing several teenagers with guns posing next to a bullet-ridden Barack Obama T-shirt.

Sgt. Pat Shearer also is being probed by Peoria Police Department after posting the photo of seven young men, four with guns, holding up a gunshot-marked T-shirt featuring an image of the US president above the word "hope," on Facebook.

The picture was posted Jan. 20, the week before the president's visit to Arizona, The Arizona Republic reported.

The Secret Service confirmed it was looking into the photo Thursday, with a spokesman telling KNXV-TV that although the individuals involved have a right to free speech, the agency also has a right to question them."

The police officer doesn't understand what all the fuss is about.

"I don't think that the shooting of that T-shirt is that big of a deal," he told the station. "It was more of a political statement … It's not like they were going to go out and shoot the president."

He admitted he was embarrassed by the photo and added he would risk his own life for the president's."

27 January - Over at Dr. Orly's (malware and redirect warning)

"Judge Malihi shortened the time to file any post trial trial pleadings. He moved the date from February 5th to February 1. He will issue his ruling shortly thereafter. I believe, he will issue his ruling by the end of the day on February 1 or on February 2 at the latest. I believe Brian Kemp, the Secretary of State of GA, will announce on February 2 or 3rd whether Barack Hussein Obama’s name will be allowed on the ballot in the state of GA as an eligible Presidential candidate."

Well, since 5 February is a sunday, it's not surprising they would shift the date a bit.

And, amazingly enough, no comment on the "No, you can't have letters rogatory, not yours" part.

27 January - The Columbus, Georgia Ledger-Enquirer comments on the Georgia Birther Ballot Jihad.

"You almost have to laugh at this latest chapter in the seemingly endless “birther” saga, because about the only alternatives at this point are tears and/or nausea.

It was embarrassing enough when members of the Georgia legislature -- including, to Columbus’ acute humiliation, two members of the local delegation -- drafted a “Presidential Eligibility Assurance Act” in the last legislative session.

Now Georgians get to enjoy the added spectacle of their secretary of state, Brian Kemp, warning the president (let that sink in -- warning the president) through a White House attorney that failure to appear in a Georgia court would be “at your own peril.” Really, Mr. Secretary? Is that a threat?"

And ends with

"Georgia, no thanks to some judgment-impaired officials and certainly without the consent of the governed, has been slumming in the Orly Taitz nuttery neighborhood way too long. Please, for the sake of the state’s already battered image, let’s just quietly tiptoe out of this putrid political ghetto and back to the daylight side of town before we attract any more ridicule.

Move along, folks. Nothing to see here."

27 January - At he currently Gulag Bound Pest and eFail, professional seditionist Sharon Rondeau gives Dr. Orly's spin on things.

"This evening Taitz told The Post & Email that she and the other two attorneys conferred with Judge Malihi in his chambers prior to the hearing, during which Malihi said that since Obama’s attorney was not in attendance, he could issue a default judgment. Alternatively, the attorneys would be allowed to argue their cases if they wished. All three chose to “present their case on the merits.”"

I'm still fairly certain he didn't mean "default judgement" in the way the birthers seem to have heard, but this seems to imply they were offered the chance….and turned it down.

And since, as we know, none of their claims HAVE any merits…..

"Another attorney accompanied Taitz from California to review the testimony and act as an observer during the hearing. He reviewed the testimony of four of the six witnesses on the evening of January 25, 2012."

Oh gee. Wonder who she got to come along with. Her friend (and fellow Taft Skool o' Law and Stuff grad) Jonathan Levy??

"Altogether, Taitz stated that the Georgia trip cost her $11,000, and she has spent over $6,000 traveling back and forth to Hawaii five times for hearings to procure the release of the original birth certificate allegedly held by the Hawaii Department of Health."

Time to raid the cushions of the Tesla for pocket change again.

"At the end of the hearing, Taitz had asked Judge Malihi to hold Obama in contempt of court for failing to appear. We asked Taitz the judge’s response, and she said, “He took it under consideration.”

No, he didn't. He said "thank you", and gaveled the hearing closed. As the Pest and eFail reported the day beforehand.

Wow. Sharon Rondeau can't keep her lies straight. Or maybe she fears crossing The Orly.

"Taitz said that a video clip of a Fox television station depicts her saying, “Anybody with half a brain” could recognize Obama’s “forged birth certificate.” She said she was the “only person” interviewed afterward by the major media. According to Taitz, news reports were made by Fox, ABC, NBC and CBS."

Well of course. They ALL recognized the media and attention whore.

"Taitz said she is in need of more donations to continue the cases against Obama."

"IT'S ALL ABOUT MEEEE!!!! SEND YOUR MONEY TO MEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!"

27 January - At Birther Report, someone is a bit upset at Carl Swensson calling Dr. Orly an "embarrassment"

"Commykiller said…[Reply] -Both Van Irion and My lawyer, Mark Hatfield made certain that our cases and evidence in those two cases would be closed so as not to be affiliated, in any way, with “Birther” Orly Taitz. As expected, she was an embarrassment.

“Birther” Orly Taitz. With all due respect to Mr. Carl, Just what the F$%CK does that mean..?

Orly is the reason that S.O.B. is in DEFAULT. It was HER supposedly FAKE subpoena that STUCK. Additionaly she presented no less than SIX powerful witnesses, who at their own PERSONAL risk, each gave CRUSHING EXPERT TESTIMONY, that at the very least TEARS A NEW ASSHOLE in Bozos FACE. And she did it all with (according to some here) an ONLINE DEGREE. Meanwhile the other 2 more professional assholes who DON'T WHANT TO BE ASSOSIATED, wrapped their cases up in what, 10-15 min. a piece. And yet it's Orly we're EMBARRASSED about..!

Well Mr. Carl and all who simpathise, YOU may be embarrassed by Orly and that's OK. But I have never been PROUDER of a fellow patriot IN MY LIFE..! I "LOVED IT" WHEN SHE TOOK THE STAND..! YOU GO GIRL..! And with all due respect and in all honesty, it is your NEEDLESS and POINTLESS attack on Orly that embarrasses ME.

LONG LIVE THE QUEEN..!
January 27, 2012 9:05 AM"

Someone wants his ride in the Dental Chair o' Luv.

In today's dispatches, the biggest news, obviously, is the Birther Ballot Jihad hearing in Georgia. I delayed for a day due to the lead up drama on this event.

In a nutshell, Dr. Orly does some pre-hearing screeching, the attorney for the Georgia Democratic Party and Obama's campaign decides it's a freaking circus and goes "forget this.", giving the courtroom floor to the birtherstani. Carl Swensson wants his share of the birther bucks, while an article about the Georgia Birther Ballot Jihad makes the rounds of all the high-class white nationalist websites.

Sharon Rondeau whines about Democrats saying accurate things about the GOP. The inmates at "Birther Report" are throwing an entire Bandini Mountain of poo, while Dr. Orly shows the class, charm, and maturity of a spoiled brat pre-schooler.

And that was BEFORE the hearing. The actual hearing was a bowel movement in three parts, with Van Irion and Hatfield's de Vattelist nuggets plopping down before Dr. Orly's legal hershey's squirts began, followed by her attempting to seduce the media with her sexy wiles.

But that's all okay because according to Dean Haskins and Carl Swenssen, the fix is in and the judge told the birtherstani attorneys that he was going to give them everything they wanted and a pony BEFORE THE HEARING STARTED. When one considers the sources, one can assume that whatever the judge said, it wasn't quite what they claimed.

In other news, the cases that Dr. Orly were ignoring in Washington DC are coming back to haunt her. Andrew Adler goes "ooops, my bad" and resigns. The Pest and eFail is excited over the fact that one of their patriots actually CALLED a radio station! Miki Booth comes up with brand new and unexplained categories of citizenship. The State of Hawaii moves to dismiss Duncan Sunahara's case. Walter Fitzpatrick is still is jail. And an Arizona cop thinks it's really fun to post a picture of gun-touting teens with a bullet-riddled Obama shirt.

19 January - In Dr. Orly's case against the SSA, attorneys for Michael Astrue, the SSA Commissioner, more for summary affirmance of the courts decision.

"01/19/2012 MOTION filed [1353593] by Michael James Astrue for summary affirmance. (Response to Motion served by mail due on 02/03/2012) [Service Date: 01/19/2012 by US Mail] Pages: 1-10. [11-5304] (Gilbert, Helen)"

(Scribd link here)

"The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying plaintiff’s motion for reconsideration. See Defenders of Wildlife v. Gutierrez, 532 F.3d 913, 919 (D.C. Cir. 2008) (reviewing denial of motion for reconsideration for abuse of discretion). The court properly determined that plaintiff had identified no new evidence, and no evidence that, even if true, would undermine the court’s holding. Op. Denying Reconsideration 2-3. The court also rejected plaintiff’s allegations of legal error, noting that plaintiff’s arguments were clearly erroneous, irrelevant, or mere restatements of arguments previously presented to and considered by the court."

21 January - Haaretz notes that while Andrew Adler may be a dolt, his opinion of Obama isn't alone….

"Anyone who has spent any time talking to some of the more vociferous detractors of Obama, Jewish or otherwise, has inevitably encountered those nasty nutters, and they are many, who still believe he is a Muslim, who are utterly convinced that he wants to destroy Israel, and who seriously debate whether he is more like Ahmadinejad than Arafat or – and I heard this one with my own ears – more like Hitler than Haman.

Anyone who reads some of the opinion articles and blogs posted on the Internet by the more extreme Obama-hating writers and pundits – again, many of them Jews - cannot deny the wanton and inflammatory nature of much of their anti-Obama invective.

And anyone who lived through the Israeli right-wing’s days of rage against Rabin and the Oslo Accords can never forget that this deluge of deadly toxins need trigger just one homicidal chemical reaction in just one fanatic brain for history to be changed forever.

The book of Deuteronomy commands the elders of the city nearest a field where a murdered corpse has been found to wash their hands over an axed heifer and to swear, “our hands have not spilled this blood and our eyes did not see.” Rashi explains that even though it is clear that they had nothing to do with the murder, the responsibility of the leaders is such that they will be held liable even if they simply denied the victim food or escort.

One wonders how many of today’s anti-Obama politicians and opinion-makers, the latter-day elders of yore, will be able to read Adler’s crazed counsel to Benjamin Netanyahu, and, may that day never come, take a good look in the mirror, wash their hands of the whole affair and declare with a clear conscience that their otherwise sharp and probing eyes didn’t see a thing."

23 January - The Pest and eFail does some creative editing under the title "Nationally-Syndicated Radio Show Host Discusses Obama’s Hidden Past"

And what was the discussion? That Neil Turner called into disgraced former San Diego Mayor Roger Hedgecock's radio show!

"So the word is now out on national radio. Put it to use: make short audio clips of Rodger’s and my comments (or send it out with the links and the timing of Rodger’s and my comments on the air); post it on your websites; and get folks to start calling in to Rodger’s show. He sounds ready to ‘blow the whistle’ on the Greatest Fraud of the Centuries."

So that was the "discussion"? That a birther called into a radio show and talked with the host??

My the bar is set pretty damn low in birtherstan.

23 January - Dr. Orly gets ready for her big adventure in Georgia. (Malware and redirect warning)

But first:

"I just finished filing a response to yet another frivolous motion by attorney Philip Berg."

Who more than likely had filed a response to yet another frivolous motion by attorney Orly Taitz.

"I am now packing to be up at 4:30 am yet again and head to GA for the hearing. I did not hear yet from judge Malihi in regards to letters rogatory to HI."

Who more than likely was going "WTF is this crap??"

"As I am taking an early flight, I wouldn’t know until I land in Atlanta. God willing nobody gets to this judge, as they did with judge Carter."

Ah, so she's priming the pump to explain away any possible failure.

BTW, Judge Carter wasn't "gotten to". He made it clear the case would proceed on it's merits if you could prove it had any. It didn't, you didn't, and it failed.

"All I can do, is bring the strongest and most convincing case with my witnesses and evidence and hope that justice and decency prevails at the end."

Well, so far we've had 97 instances where justice and decency prevailed at the end, so hopefully the judge maintains that track record by denying you yet again.

"Let’s hope that this is the beginning of end of the illegitimate and corrupt regime of paperless Obama."

Wish in one hand, crap in the other, see which one fills up first.

23 January - Motion for summary affirmance in Dr. Orly's case against White House Counsel Kathy Ruemmler.

23 January - The Pest and eFail continues it's proud tradition of whiney letters. This one by Miki Booth, who I'm going to presume slept though her civics classes in high school.

"There are 9 types of citizen in the United States. “U.S. Citizen” and “Natural Born Citizen” do not equate yet liberal propagandists “dumb-downed” Americans through the decades to believe both types of citizenships are the same. It has been a deliberate plan to marginalize and/or silence the Article II, Section 2.5 Constitutionalists by calling them “birthers” and “racists.” The majority of Americans believe one only needs to be born in the United States to run for president. This misconception is the handiwork of anti-American entities who have worked diligently to shred the Constitution and usher in a different form of government."

Just where the hell did Miki Booth get "nine kinds of citizens" from??? US law only recognizes two kinds, a citizen at birth, called a 'natural" or 'native' born citizen, and a naturalized citizen who gained US citizenship as an adult.

"There are many of us ‘birthers’ living in fear because we never fell for what we knew was brain-washing and propaganda being fed to the American people for generations."

No, you're living in fear because you can't stand the idea that there's a black man in the White House.

"Obama is also compelled to produce his historic documents including but not limited to his birth certificate, adoption papers and Indonesian school records. Should he not comply with the subpoena to appear or present his papers he will lose anyway because his name will not be put on the GA State ballot and the plaintiffs in the three cases to be heard will submit evidence of Obama’s deception and fraud not the least of which is lying on his application to the Illinois Bar. In the space asking for other names used by the applicant Obama entered “none.” Add to this his use of a CT social security number that was never issued to him and fails the E-Verify check. Intriguingly, the social security number is shared by a Harrison J. Bounell from CT, long since deceased but at one time a roomer/tenant in a home owned by the Robinson family. Now that’s just too speculative, too coincidental to be Michelle Robinson Obama’s CT relatives. But then there’s the selective service record that ties to the social security number but is so fraught with anomalies that taken with the recent problems of a suspicious “Frankenstein” document posted on the WhiteHouse.gov website on April 27, 2011, the whole business reeks of ineptitude or is it deliberate subversive activity."

Someone really needs to get her paranoia and delusions treated by a professional.

23 January - Andrew Adler resigns from the Atlanta Jewish Times.

"The owner and publisher of the Atlanta Jewish Times has resigned and is seeking a buyer in the wake of a column he wrote speculating that Israel would consider assassinating President Obama.

Andrew Adler, in an email obtained by JTA, announced Monday that he is "relinquishing all day-to-day activities effective immediately" following the publishing of his opinion piece saying that Obama's assassination was among Israel's options in heading off a nuclear Iran.

Adler named staff writer John McCurdy as interim managing editor until a replacement can be found. Adler said he would publish an apology in his next edition and that reaction from readers had been overwhelmingly negative.

The Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta said earlier Monday that it would suspend its relationship with the Atlanta Jewish Times until Adler removed himself from the newspaper's operations. The federation also called on Adler to sell the weekly."

Wonder when he starts his new job at World Nut Daily….

23 January - Due to Dr. Orly screwing up payment, the appeal for her Writ of Mandamus case against Kathy Ruemmler is dismissed for lack of prosecution.

No mandate shall issue."

24 January - Carl Swensson wants his share of the birther bucks.

"The battle to keep Obama off the Georgia ballot comes at a price.., the price of representation.
I have shouldered this till now but these legal expenses will require your help. Please be a part of this history making challenge."

Oh, and note the charming graphic he's got on his website.

Nope, not racist at all, not in the slightest……

24 January - And by one "Jeff Davis", an article about the upcoming Georgia Birther Ballot Jihad.

"Ah, well, there you go. That green “Obama Birth Certificate” which was presented to the world last year has been shown to be a photo-shopped forgery, but the fly-like attention span of the American public lost interest in this issue as every mainstream pundit assured the public that the issue was resolved.

If Obama does have a real birth certificate, and it’s supposedly on file in the state of Hawaii, then he’ll have to explain why he doesn’t produce it through legitimate channels to the state of Georgia. Good for the state of Georgia. At least one state in the US didn’t let this slippery Kenyan get away with scamming two elections in a row."

If you're wondering where this article came from, well, I found it at Stormfront, "White Civil Rights", and the website for David Duke

24 January - Unlike Dr. Orly, Van Irion doesn't expect President Obama to appear at the Georgia Birther Ballot Jihad.

"An attorney for a Georgia voter questioning President Barack Obama's eligibility for the March 6 primary said the president probably won't attend a hearing on the issue Thursday, even though a subpoena compelling his appearance stands.

Van R. Irion, who represents plaintiff David Welden, acknowledged Monday that Obama likely will avoid the trial-like proceeding before Georgia Office of State Administrative Hearings Deputy Chief Judge Michael M. Malihi."

24 January - My observation about Thursday's Birther Ballot Jihad in Georgia.

If the judge does end up becoming the birthers "Great White Judicial Hope", ignores the law and affirms their wild-eyed claims, it's going to backfire. Bigtime.

Why?

Look at the players. We have one attorney, (Van Irion) who's on the board of directors for the "Southern Legal Resource Center", a NeoConfederate support group on SPLC's "HateWatch" list. We have another attorney (Mark Hatfield) who's also a GOP State Legislator for the State of Georgia and who has done birther bills in the past. And a third attorney (Orly Taitz) who ran an unsuccessful campaign to gain the nomination as the GOP candidate for California Secretary of State, and who is trying to get on the ballot to be the GOP candidate for US Senator from California.

Not to mention a plaintiff (Carl Swensson) who's given interviews to the White Nationalist (according to SPLC) "American Free Press", posts pictures showing the Confederate-flag based version of the Georgia State Flag flying over the White House.....and who is the chairman for his county's Republican Party.

And it's happening in Georgia.

If the judge does ignore law and past legal precedent, the blowback is going to be pretty loud. You have a mix of people, all of which have ties to the Republican Party and/or racist organizations, all trying to get the nations's first African-American president off the ballot in a Southern state.

There is no way this is going to fly well at all nationally - and one can expect the GOP to try and do as much damage control as possible to distance themselves from it.

24 January - The Georgia political blog "Peach Pundit" comments on the upcoming Birther Ballot Jihad in that state.

"Over the weekend, headlines trumpeted that President Obama had been “ordered to appear” in the Georgia courtroom. He is called to face several conspiracy theorists who have filed challenges on various grounds to his legal ability to appear on the Presidential ballot. The President’s lawyers filed a challenge to the subpoena, but failed to include a legal justification as to why the President should not appear. The judge, far from “ordering” the President to appear in an administrative hearing, nudged the President’s lawyer to come back with proper paperwork.

The ruling has helped feed a festive atmosphere within the community of people known as Birthers, who believe the President is not a natural born American citizen and therefore is not a legitimate Commander In Chief. These are people who believe that despite of the President producing his birth certificate, and the state of Hawaii certifying the authenticity of said certificate, that somehow a half century ago a Kenyan family posted a birth announcement in a Hawaii newspaper to begin a diabolical plot to install a Kenyan/Muslim/Socialist/ as President of the United States.

In a new twist in the birther’s line of attack, they now claim a constitutional requirement that not only Obama be a citizen, but both of his parents must have been a citizen at the time of his birth. This legal standard is pure fiction that exists only on the internet, but supporters are not deterred."

And I'm not the only one noting the possibility of GOP blowback.

"We are taught from a young age that we will be judged by the company we keep. Republicans cannot afford to keep the company of the paranoid and delusional. There is no rational reason to question a state’s official documents, nor justification for creating supra-constitutional requirements of citizenship. The birther argument transcends disagreements of policy and politics, and spirals those who engage into pure nuttery. This cannot be condoned by Republicans any longer.

Republican leaders have a choice to face with birthers. They can continue to remain silent, and accept the small minority to define the rest of the party as out of touch fringe who have an irrational need to remove a duly elected President by any means necessary. The party must decide if it wishes to coddle those who are blinded by paranoia, or demonstrate to independent voters that Republicans plan to win on policy.

It is not sufficient for a party to indicate only for which it stands. It sometimes must also be clear on that which it does not. The systematic strategy of stripping the legitimacy from elected Presidents is bad for America and the concept of representative government. Republicans who rightfully chided Democrats for questioning Bush’s legitimacy after the 2000 electoral debacle are now complicit in the same behavior. This must change, for the sake of the country."

24 January - The Department of Health for the State of Hawaii moves to dismiss the case of Sunahara v DoH

(Scribd link here)

"Defendants request that this Honorable Court dismiss Plaintiffs complaint. This request is made on the basis that the Plaintiffs complaint fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Plaintiff has been provided with a computer-generated abstract of the birth certificate he seeks. There is no provision in either section 338-13 or 338-18, HRS or Chapter 92F, HRS that entitles Plaintiff to obtain a certified copy of Virginia Sunahara's original birth certificate or to have access to that original. In addition, the Director's authority to provide computer generated abstracts when fulfilling valid requests for vital records is contained in sections 338-13(a) and©, HRS, and Defendants did not violate the rule making requirements of HAP A when that authority was established. Finally, allowing Plaintiff and/or his representative to obtain the requested relief and be present at the copying, duplication, or reproduction of the requested records would frustrate a legitimate government function."

Funny, I think I figured this out a few weeks ago. Pity Duncan Sunahara and Dean Haskins didn't

"Plaintiff also claims that § 92F -11, HRS requires Defendants to make the original fifty year old birth certificate available for inspection and copying, and he requests that the Court grant him and/or his representative permission to be present when the requested records are copied. Plaintiff is wrong. It is true that section 92F-ll, HRS establishes the general rule that DIP A favors affirmative agency-disclosure responsibilities, but it also establishes clear exceptions, including: unless access is restricted or closed by law or except as provided in section 92F-13. Section 92F-13(3) specifically excludes from disclosure those government records which, by their nature, must be confidential in order for the government to avoid the frustration of a legitimate government function."

Again, sounding strangely familiar.

"Allowing an unauthorized individual or individuals into a vault where old vital records are stored would establish a precedent that would frustrate Defendants' official government function of preserving public health statistics records. Additionally it would compromise Defendants' ability to maintain the confidentiality of other vital record information stored with the birth certificate and would be an inefficient means of retrieving data that has been made available electronically."

In other words "we know the real reason you want in, and the answer is 'no'

Oh, and it's going to end up in Judge Nishimura's courtroom again.

24 January - Professional seditionist Sharon Rondeau whines that the Georgia "Democrat" Party is saying mean things about the birthers!

"The Georgia Democrat Party is asking for donations to mount an offensive against the challenges to Obama’s constitutional eligibility which are scheduled to be heard on Thursday in Atlanta. The Chairman of the party calls the challenges “frivolous lawsuits.”

Ah, once again we see that petty "Democrat Party" thing. It's the "Georgia DemocratIC Party"

"However, two plaintiffs represented by Atty. Orly Taitz, Cody Robert Judy and Leah Lax, are contenders for the Democrat Party’s nomination for President."

They may very well be running for the "Democrat Party" nomination, but they're certainly not on the DemocratIC Party ballot in Georgia

However, since one of the Attorneys involved is a GOP lawmaker in that state, another is a failed GOP candidate in her state, and one of the plaintiffs is the chairman for his county's GOP committee, one might understand why the Georgia DemocratIC party might be a little annoyed.

Oh, and someone had sugar-frosted delusion flakes for breakfast:

"Bob_Porrazzo says:
Tuesday, January 24, 2012 at 9:20 PM
Nothing ever surprises me about these NWO loving leftist idiots. But there are those on the right who want globalism too.
We are on to your tricks Nazis…your fake idol Obama WILL SHOW UP IN HANDCUFFS IN ATLANTA!"

"…..to DREAM the impossible dream…….."

24 January - Back when Dr. Orly was committing legal malpractice with Rhodes v MacDonald, a person by the name of Robert Douglas filed an affidavit claiming he had seen Attorney General Eric Holder in a coffee shop with Judge Land before the hearing.

Well, he's back, and at the Pest and eFail, penning glurge in memory of Stefan Cook.

"I was witness to what happened “inside” and “outside” the court room. The “FIX” was in and he never had a chance at REAL “due legal process”. The Department of Defense threatened his civilian employer, a private defense contractor, with suspension of all military contracts, unless Maj. Cook was terminated from his “civilian” job. His ex-employer confirmed, no less, that fact. He was terminated!!"

Funny thing when one tries to file conscientious objector status. They tend to lose their security clearances. And if you need those clearances to do your job……

"Outside the courtroom, prior to proceedings within, my party had walked across the street from the court house to a very small coffee shop while waiting for the court house opening. We were seated at about 8:30 A.M. While seated, to my complete surprise, in walks none other than the U.S. Attorney General, Mr. Eric Holder, without escort. He quickly received his order and left promptly, as if desiring to be incognito. He never appeared in open court to participate publicly in the proceedings and was never to be seen again…..the question is why??? One has to think hard about the relationship of a “Federal Judge” and a visiting AG of the U.S."

One also has to think hard about how Eric Holder, who was confirmed in Los Angeles that day, could have gotten from Los Angeles to Atlanta and back in less than two hours. Last time I checked, all the SR-71's are in museums.

24 January - The inmates are restless at Birther Report, waiting for their Great White Judicial Hope to find Obama guilty of Presidenting While Black tomorrow.

Though I suspect he'll settle for an armed mob and a rope.

Longtime readers will remember that when the Fantasy Tiddlywinks League first started their little pretend "Grand Juries", I predicted the following:

Step 1 - Pretend "Citizen" Grand Juries against Obama. When those are ignored, then:
Step 2 - Pretend "Citizen" Trials against Obama. When those are ignored, then:
Step 3 - Attempts to perform "Citizen Arrests" against Obama. When those are ignored or rebuffed by legitimate law enforcement, then:
Step 4 - Attempts to "carry out sentence" against Obama by any means necessary.

We're already well into step 3. I keep praying we don't go to step 4 ever - but I won't be surprised if we see a birther or someone friendly to their cause attempt to do just that.

And hopefully nobody loses their life in the attempt.

25 January - Professional seditionist Sharon Rondeau gives an update on jailbird Walter Fitzpatrick.

"The following report came in from a visitor to Walter Fitzpatrick this morning at the Monroe County jail. Fitzpatrick was rearrested on December 7, 2011 for allegedly under-serving his last sentence and stealing government documents."

You mean the government documents that Sharon Rondeau ADMITTED she had???

"Sgt. Mullins came in to see him yesterday from Veterans’ Affairs. His office is in the courthouse and he was sent there by the State Veterans Affairs Commission. Somebody had told them that Walter had been beaten up by jail officials. We have no idea where that came from. Walter told him, “No, that wasn’t true. ”

Someone spreading stories??

"The documents received by The Post & Email from Martha Cook have incorrect addresses for Fitzpatrick. One address reads “504 Mayes Street” and the other “504 Maye Street.” The Post & Email does not release personal information, but we can confirm that that is not Fitzpatrick’s correct address."

Funny, you've had no problems publishing Obama's former SSN, or personal information about any "obot" you have a mad at.

25 January - Dr. Kate's buddy David Yeagley chimes in

"The Southern Poverty Law Center chimed in, unable to the alien “president.” Says Ryan Linz, “Malihi’s decision has been heralded far and wide as a defining moment for those who have hounded Obama about his lineage. Their celebration, in fact, is notable considering the setbacks their cause has suffered before.

And so the Magic Negro will ultimately have to go to court to prove who he is. This is telling. This is right, and this should have happened before he ever ran for any office."

25 January - From Dr. Orly's house o' malware, comes an email from Michael Jablonski to Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp, stating that the hearing on the 26th has become a complete and total circus (no, really???) (malware and redirect warning)

"Dear Secretary Kemp:

This is to advise you of serious problems that have developed in the conduct of the hearings pending before the Office of State Administrative Hearings. At issue in these hearings are challenges that allege that President Obama is not eligible to hold or run for re-election to his office, on the now wholly discredited theory that he does not meet the citizenship requirements. As you know, such allegations have been the subject of numerous judicial proceedings around the country, all of which have concluded that they were baseless and, in some instances – including in the State of Georgia - that those bringing the challenges have engaged in sanctionable abuse of our legal process.

Nonetheless, the Administrative Law Judge has exercised no control whatsoever over this proceeding, and it threatens to degenerate into a pure forum for political posturing to the detriment of the reputation of the State and your Office. Rather than bring this matter to a rapid conclusion, the ALJ has insisted on agreeing to a day of hearings, and on the full participation of the President in his capacity as a candidate. Only last week, he denied a Motion to Quash a subpoena he approved on the request of plaintiff’s counsel for the personal appearance of the President at the hearing, now scheduled for January 26."

Part of the problem here is that while the judge seems unwilling to restrain Dr. Orly's subpoena parade, Michael Jablonski didn't help any by filing a poorly written motion to quash.

"It is well established that there is no legitimate issue here—a conclusion validated time and again by courts around the country. "

97 times so far.

"The State of Hawaii produced official records documenting birth there; the President made documents available to the general public by placing them on his website. “Under the United States Constitution, a public record of a state is required to be given ‘full faith and credit’ by all other states in the country. Even if a state were to require its election officials for the first time ever to receive a ‘birth certificate’ as a requirement for a federal candidate’s ballot placement, a document certified by another state, such as a ‘short form’ birth certificate, or the certified long form, would be required to be accepted by all states under the ‘full faith and credit’ clause of the United States Constitution.” Maskell, “Qualifications for President and the “Natural Born” Citizenship Eligibility Requirement,” Congressional Research Service (November 14, 2011), p.41."

A fact that the birthers never seem to understand.

"One of the attorneys for the plaintiffs has downloaded form subpoenas which she tried to serve around the country. Plaintiff’s attorney sent subpoenas seeking to force attendance by an office machine salesman in Seattle; seeking to force the United States Attorney to bring an unnamed “Custodian of Records Department of Homeland Security” to attend the hearing with immunization records; and asking the same U.S. Attorney to bring the same records allegedly possessed by “Custodian of Records of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.” She served subpoenas attempting to compel the production of documents and the attendance of Susan Daniels and John Daniels, both apparently out of state witnesses, regarding Social Security records. She is seeking to compel the Director of Health for the State of Hawaii to bring to Atlanta the “original typewritten 1961 birth certificate #10641 for Barack Obama, II, issued 08.08.1961 by Dr. David Sinclair…,” even though Hawaii courts had dismissed with prejudice the last attempt to force release of confidential records on November 9, 2011. Taitz v. Fuddy, CA No. 11-1-1731-08 RAN."

And the judge did…..nothing……to stop her either.

"We await your taking the requested action, and as we do so, we will, of course, suspend further participation in these proceedings, including the hearing scheduled for January 26."

Now this, IMHO, is a really stupid move. His non-appearance is simply going to gin up the birthers even more, and add to their expected demands for a default judgement. In effect, he's saying "the judge is an idiot, so I'm going to stay home" - which is going to piss off the judge even more.

And according to Dr. Orly's spin, it's because Obama is "scared" of her.

"HE IS MOSTLY CRYING ON THE SHOULDER OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE OF GA AND SAYING THAT ORLY IS BAD, BECAUSE SHE ISSUED ALL OF THOSE SUBPOENAS. SO AFTER THE JUDGE TOLD OBAMA, THAT THE SUBPOENA, THAT I ISSUED WAS PERFECTLY VALID AND HE HAD TO APPEAR IN COURT TOMORROW AND BRING WITH HIM ALL OF THE DOCUMENTS, THAT I DEMANDED, OBAMA DECIDED TO GO BEHIND THE BACK OF THE JUDGE AND SEND THE SAME COMPLAINT ABOUT ME TO THE SECRETARY OF STATE AND HE IS ASKING THE SECRETARY OF STATE TO TAKE THE TRIAL AWAY FROM THE JUDGE.

DOES THIS LOOK LIKE A BEHAVIOR OF AN INNOCENT PERSON? AN INNOCENT PERSON WOULD HAVE COME TO COURT AND SHOWED ALL THE VALID DOCUMENTS WITH THE EMBOSSED SEALS, WHICH ARE VERIFIABLE. INSTEAD HE IS ACTING LIKE A 5 YEAR OLD BRAT, SAYING “I AM AFRAID OF ORLY, I WANT THE SECRETARY OF STATE OF GA TO ACT LIKE MY MOMMY AND PROTECT ME FROM ORLY.” SOME LEADER OF A FREE WORLD…"

Just how stupid does one have to be to GIVE away your case to Dr. Orly of all people??

Gah! I hope I'm wrong about this, but this has big ol' mistake all over it.

25 January - And, of course, the birthers are jumping all over this.

"Atty. Orly Taitz has published a letter written from Obama attorney Michael Jablonski to the Georgia Secretary of State stating that he is refusing to appear on his client’s behalf at the hearing scheduled for Thursday morning in Atlanta.

Judge Michael Malihi had denied Jablonski’s request to quash subpoenas issued by Taitz seeking information from Obama on his background, including a certified original birth certificate, school records, social security number application, and documentation of any other names he has used in the past."

25 January - Not to mention the primates at Birther Report

I pray to God this is THE lawsuit that we've all been waiting for and this is the one that finally exposes the biggest fraud in the history of the United States. January 25, 2012 3:04 PM"

25 January - The Georgia Democratic Party makes a statement about the birther ballot jihad.

“This afternoon we received a letter from counsel for the President directed to the Georgia Secretary of State asking him to intervene in these lawsuits and bring them to a halt, because it is well established that there is no issue here – a fact validated time and again by courts in this country.

“In the letter, counsel also indicated that they had no interest in continuing to appear or participate further in the litigation and have suspended their involvement.

“We respect the President’s position and urge the Secretary of State to bring this matter to a conclusion. We also believe that each political party has the absolute legal right to determine who should appear on their primary and general election ballots according to their own rules without interference from outside parties.

“In light of these developments the Democratic Party of Georgia has no plans to continue to be involved in these baseless cases. Furthermore the Democratic Party of Georgia will cooperate with the President and his campaign in any way requested to make sure that his name appears on the primary and general election ballots for 2012.”

25 January - The Atlanta Journal-Constitution comments on the hearing boycott.

"Democrats, including the attorney representing President Barack Obama, have made a last-minute decision to boycott the Thursday hearing to consider a “birther” effort to remove Obama from the March 6 presidential primary ballot.

“They can tilt at windmills on their own,” said state Democratic spokesman Eric Gray on Wednesday night."

25 January - World Nut Daily chimes in.

"Jablonski told Kemp he should simply “withdraw” the original hearing request as “improvidently issued.”

“It is well established that there is no legitimate issue here – a conclusion validated time and again by courts around the country. The state of Hawaii produced official records documenting birth there; the president made documents available to the general public by placing them on his website,” he wrote.

Jablonski accused Malihi of allowing the attorneys to “run amok.”

“Perhaps he is aware that there is no credible response; perhaps he appreciates that the very demand made of his office – that it address constitutional issues – is by law not within its authority.”

Obama, meanwhile, has a campaign trip to several Midwest and Western states lined up over the next few days."

25 January - Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp responds to Jablonski.

(Scribd link here)

"I received your letter expressing your concerns with the manner in which the Office of State Administrative Hearings ("OSAH") has handled the candidate challenges involving your client and advising me that you and your client will "suspend" participation in the administrative proceeding. While I regret that you do not feel that the proceedings are appropriate, my referral of this matter to an administrative law judge at OSAH was in keeping with Georgia law, and specifically O.C.G.A. § 21-2-5.

As you are aware, OSAH Rule 616-1-2-.17 cited in your letter only applies to parties to a hearing. As the referring agency, the Secretary of State's Office is not a party to the candidate challenge hearings scheduled for tomorrow. To the extent a request to withdraw the case referral is procedurally available, I do not believe such a request would be judicious given the hearing is set for tomorrow morning.

In following the procedures set forth in the Georgia Election Code, I expect the administrative law judge to report his findings to me after his full consideration of the evidence and law. Upon receipt of the report, I will fully and fairly review the entire record and initial decision of the administrative law judge. Anything you and your client place in the record in response to the challenge will be beneficial to my review of the initial decision; however, if you and your client choose to suspend your participation in the OSAH proceedings, please understand that you do so at your own peril.

I certainly appreciate you contacting me about your concerns, and thank you for your attention to this matter."

Congratulations Jablonski, you just freaking screwed the pooch. The Georgia Secretary of State has made it clear he won't stop the three-ring circus tomorrow, if you don't' attend you have yourself to blame for what happens to your client, and if you do attend, you do so from a position of weakness, having pissed off both the judge AND the secretary of state!

Seriously, are you REALLY this freaking stupid???

And, at this point, I'm starting to wonder if Brian Kemp (who is a Republican himself) has decided to play his own flirty games with the birthers. Or maybe he also gets off on the idea of telling the President "You damn well better show us your goddamn papers, BOY!"

At this point, the only out I can see for the attorney in question is to bring a certified copy of the COLB, submit it to the judge, and not say another freaking word. Let the Secretary of State either tell the birthers it's valid, or try to argue in a federal court that "Full Faith and Credit" doesn't apply to official documents coming from Hawaii.

25 January - And Dr. Orly continues to show her utter lack of maturity and class (malware and redirect warning)

And oh look in comments:

"Tango January 25th, 2012 @ 7:52 pm When rats are cornered they are very dangerous. Hope he doesn’t get on his blackberry and call his troops to the streets. You know, the black pussycats (Panthers really?), the loyal blacks, the brainless Obots and Welfare recipients. That will trigger civil war. I hope he just ask for political asylum somewhere and don’t start any bloodshed."

Racist much?? And it's the birthers who are usually wanting to start the civil wars and the like. Projecting much as well??

When they're losing, the birther sound like immature children. When they think they're winning, they sound like SPOILED immature children.

25 January - Dr. Orly files a "Ex Parte Motion for reconsideration" with the State of Hawaii on the 13th of January, 2012 to try and get her Georgia subpoenas obeyed by Hawaii.

(Scribd link here)

Dr. Orly was nice and even included a proposed order for Judge Nishimura to sign. On 17 January, Judge Nishimura was also nice and simply crossed out "Granted" and handwrote "Denied", initialing it and stamping "Denied" on it as well on page 10. Pity she didn't do the same for page 17 - but she didn't sign it either. It was filed on 19 January.

26 January - The OC Weekly comments on Dr. Orly's pre-hearing attitude.

"Orly began thusly:

"What Obama is asking now, is totally insane. He is asking the Secretary of State of GA to take the trial away from the judge on the eve of the trial. He is mostly crying on the shoulder of the Secretary of State of GA and saying that Orly is bad, because she issued all of those subpoenas. So after the judge told Obama, that the subpoena, that I issued was perfectly valid and he had to appear in court tomorrow and bring with him all of the documents, that I demanded, Obama decided to go behind the back of the judge and send the same complaint about me to the Secretary of State and he is asking the Secretary of State to take the trial away from the judge."

Scoff not, because one thing this lady is intimate with is insanity."

26 January - I woke up a bit early on the West Coast to listen in on the live cast that the Article II Super Duper Extra-Crispy PAC and Dean Haskins' "Vattelvision" did of the Georgia Birther Ballot Jihad hearing.

The video, on a mid-range DSL line, was choppy and erratic. It lasted until the point that Dr. Orly was berating Douglas Vogt on the stand for not giving her the answers she wanted, then then connection died completely.

That being said, the Article II Super Duper Extra-Crispy PAC and "Vattelvision" should get a couple of brownie points for not cutting the video feed once Dr. Orly took the stand. After all the screaming and insults she threw at them for the crime of not blindly supporting Dr. Orly and giving Dr. Orly all their money, they would have been quite justified in doing such.

Jablonski wasn't there at all.

First up was Van Irion. He asked for a contempt of court against Jablonski, and then went on to a rambling, disjointed discussion of warmed over de Vattelism.

Next was Mark Hatfield and his client, Carl Swensson. While it looked like the hearing room had a flag with a gold fringe on it, Swensson didn't freak out about it. A request for contempt of court against Jablonski for not showing, and against Obama for failing to show with the items Hatfield demanded a few days earlier.

The judge seemed less than thrilled with their contempt demands and cut them short. He did ask them if they had any objections to his downloading and entering the on-line copies of the COLB and Long Form Birth Certificate copies into the record. Neither Hatfield or Van Irion had a problem with that.

A break, then it was Dr. Orly's turn. And the judge swiftly started to lose patience with her. The sound quality was such that it was hard to hear her. She started with a video show that the judge told her to shut down. She also got scolded by the judge for turning her back on him and addressing her supporters.

David Farar took the stand, tried to cite the Indonesian school record Berg likes to flog. Judge told him it wasn't relevant. Susan Daniels repeated disproven lies about SS numbers. Linda Jordan admitted she broke the law and used e-verify illegally. Christopher Strunk (who also didn't freak about a fringed flag) Douglas Vogt blathered on about his long form forgery theory. WIth all her her witnesses, Dr. Orly was rude, combative, argumentative, insulting, and bullying. And this was with her FRIENDLY witnesses. Vogt in particular got a heaping pile of Orlypoo thrown at him for not giving her the answers she wanted to hear.

About this point the connection died and none of the three links provided for video worked. I'm given to understand John Sampson was next and seemed to think this was a criminal trial and was calling for Obama to be deported as an illegal alien. And then, Dr. Orly placed HERSELF on the stand.

No, really.

Dr. Orly asked that President Obama be held in contempt for not showing up. However, it's interesting to note she didn't ask the judge to enforce any of the subpoenas she scattered all over the country.

The judge wrapped it all up soon afterwards and left, with all the attorney's "evidence" in tow. No ruling was made at that time.

26 January - CBS Atlanta reports on the hearing fun.

"Thursday, plaintiffs attempted to argue that the President is constitutionally unqualified to serve as commander in chief because, they claim, his father was not a U.S. citizen.

They cite Article II of the constitution which states that the president must be a natural born citizen. Their argument is that since the president's father was not born in the U.S. and was not a citizen, the president should not be allowed to be in office.

Similar complaints have been filed in other states. None have been successful."

Yeah, we kinda noticed that.

"The Georgia complaint wants to keep Obama's name off the state's presidential primary ballot in March.

Similarly,Mitt Romney's father was born in Mexico and Rick Santorum's father was born in Italy.

No one has filed a complaint about either of those candidates' eligibility."

Of course not. They're safe white Republicans, not a scary black Democrat.

"Taitz put herself on the stand. She claims the president was born in Indonesia and went under different names as a young student during his time in Indonesia.

Taitz claims the president committed fraud and forgery on his birth certificate and social security number. She asked the judge to find the president in contempt for failing to show up in court."

*Rolls eyes*

26 January - Commentary from Jay Bookman of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution

"Roughly 100 people are in the courtroom, most of them older white Americans. The conversations are thick with various birthed theories being bandied about.

Dressed tastefully in black and wearing a pearl choker, The redoubtable Orly Taitz swept in a few minutes ago, making a star’s entrance amid whispers of “look, there she is!”

A bailiff has summoned attorneys for the plaintiffs and defendants into chambers for a pre-hearing conference. Since the Obama camp has decided to boycott the hearing, only the four plaintiffs’ attorneys, including Taitz, are in the session."

And in comments:

"Welcome to the Occupation
January 26th, 2012
10:38 am

Jay, if any of these good folks have any insight on where this uppity black intruder came from and what his intentions are in seeking to lead the free world, let us know!

I just hope we don’t have to offer up any first born in sacrifice to get him to go back to where came from.

It’s just terrible. To live to see this day come."

"Uppity", eh??

26 January - "The National Patriot" gives a birther play-by-play of the Georgia Birther Ballot Jihad hearing.

"Now, all of this has finally been entered OFFICIALLY into court records.

One huge question is now more than ever before, unanswered.

WHO THE HELL IS THIS GUY?

Without his attorney present, Obama’s identity, his Social Security number, his citizenship status, and his past are all OFFICIALLY in question.

One thing to which there seems no doubt. He does NOT qualify, under the definition of Natural Born Citizen” provided by SCOTUS opinions, to be eligible to serve as President.

What will the judge decide? That is yet to be known, but it seems nearly impossible to believe, without counter testimony or evidence, because Obama and his attorney chose not to participate, that Obama will be allowed on the Georgia ballot."

And this is what I figured the birther spin would be, "Obama's attorney hid and didn't challenge all of our wild-assed claims, so they're now PART OF THE COURT RECORD and PROOF!!"

*rolls eyes*

26 January - Over at Gary Wilmott's blog, he repeats a claim by Dean Haskins that the judge told the attorneys BEFORE THE HEARING that he was going to enter a default judgement against Obama.

"I just got off the phone with Dean Haskins who was in the courtroom this morning assisting with the Art 2Pac live stream. Judge Malihi talked to the attorneys in chambers before the hearing this morning and told them that he was going to enter a DEFAULT JUDGMENT against Obama and recommend that Obama's name not be on the Georgia ballot! All of the attorneys expressed a desire to put an abbreviated streamlined case on the record and the judge agreed. "

So how did Dean Haskins find this out, not being one of the attorneys in question??

"How does the mainstream media spin this?"

Let's see? A group of plaintiffs and attorneys, all of whom have ties to the GOP and/or groups with racist/white nationalist tendencies.

You be the judge.

"The Georgia SOS has already indicated that he will follow the judge's recommendation. That means that Obama will not get any popular vote or electors from the great state of Georgia!
Congratulations to all freedom-loving Americans!"

If the judge and the SOS are stupid enough to actually ignore the law and do just this, I predict it will take an appeals court roughly 30 seconds to stay the ruling and/or overturn it.

26 January - Swiftboat liar Jerome Corsi gives his spin at World Nut Daily.

"Obama and his attorney boycotted the proceedings, issuing a letter to Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp that the judge was letting attorneys “run amok.” This comment came after Malihi refused to quash a subpoena for Obama’s testimony and his records, which effectively was ignored by the White House.

The judge is expected to review the evidence and make a recommendation to the state whether there is reason to be concerned over Obama’s name on the 2012 ballot.

He apparently will have no defense evidence, but Kemp had warned Obama about that."

And in comments:

"Matt

26 January - Birther Report gives their play-by-play on the Georgia Birther Ballot Jihad hearing.

"Dealio said…[Reply] Once the court realizes they have a criminal on their hands, orders for Soetoro's arrest will have to go out. Not to defies logic. January 26, 2012 7:01 AM"

Yeah, good luck with that, skippy.

"Anonymous said…[Reply] Was that Theresa Cao I just saw in the courtroom? January 26, 2012 7:15 AM"

I didn't see anyone wearing an Israeli flag and angel wings.

"Anonymous said…[Reply] Orly is already fumbling testing the judge with a video then speaking to the audience not the judge… man does she know how to screw every case up. January 26, 2012 7:21 AM"

*Chuckle*

"Dealio said…[Reply] Once locked up, does Soetoro get his day in court, or is today's hearing actually his day in court? What I'm looking for is, how soon can we expect to move on to the punishment phase? January 26, 2012 7:40 AM"

Oh look. When it comes to President Obama, "Dealio" seems to think "rule of law" and "innocent until proven guilty" means "guilty until proven guilty as sin, so get a rope boys".

"Miki Booth said…[Reply] Please post ASAP any press release so I can get it to all my contacts. This is good. I'll be going to CPAC and can take stuff to hand to the GOP powers that be. I intend to get in their faces. January 26, 2012 9:27 AM"

Oh that will go over well.

"Dealio said…[Reply] 8:28 AM, For whatever reason, you sound upset. The court must realize Soetoro has to be arrested immediately, as in now, or quite frankly, what's the point? January 26, 2012 10:02 AM"

He's really having problems trying to figure out why that uppity darkie isn't in chains hanging from a WHITE House tree right now.

26 January - In Illinois, Sharon Meroni's objection died for her today.

"Objection Withdrawn!
| |

Today the petition challenge relating to voter registration was withdrawn because the records examination found the petitions contained the required 3000 signatures. That is very good news for the Obama campaign! Tomorrow, The Objectors will post more information on their website."

26 January - Okay, fair is fair.

It went better than I was concerned about, and Jablonski's boycott may have had the intended effect of showing it to be the circus it was.

The predicted birther talking point that "Obama didn't challenge our claims so they're now FACTS in a COURT OF LAW" is annoying though.

I think if the Judge and the SOS are smart, they'll dismiss the claims and go soak in a vat of Lysol to try and get the stink of birther off of them. I'm not completely convinced they're that smart though.

That being said, I don't buy into Dean Haskins claim of a pre-trial "default judgement", since a lot of what I saw on the video seemed to argue against it. If the "fix was in" in such a way, why did Van Irion or Hatfield not object to the on-line copies of the long form and COLB being entered into the record?? Why was Dr. Orly so rule and abusive to her own witnesses?? I would have expected all of them to simply toss their claims into the record and do a victory lap around the courtroom if it was in the bag like that.

Not to mention if the Judge told the counsel that BEFORE the hearing even started, the decision would be set aside so fast it would make heads spin.

Of course, if the judge does rule against the birtherstani, it will be Judge Carter redux as they claim that someone "got to" Judge Melihi.

Still unhappy about the whole thing, but less annoyed about it than I was last night.

26 January - Birther Report repeats Dean Haskins claim of a default judgement.

"As we are trying to get a quick lunch, and then do some interviews, this is just a very brief synopsis of what happened today. Before the hearing started, the judge called the attorneys into his chambers and explained that he was going to enter a default judgment in their favor. Attorneys Hatfield and Irion requested to be able to present abbreviated versions of their arguments so that they would be on the record. At that point, Irion estimated he would need 20 minutes, Hatfield estimated he would need 30 minutes, and Taitz estimated she would need 2 hours.

Van Irion and Mark Hatfield made their arguments, and left. Taitz then presented her argument, calling several witnesses, until the judge asked her to make her closing statement. As her closing statement began, the judge asked if she was testifying, and, in an unconventional move, Taitz took the witness stand to testify. The judge finally asked her just to make her closing statement, which she did.

We believe that the default judgment automatically translates into the judge's recommendation to the Sec. Of State being that Obama should not appear on the ballot in Georgia."

26 January - The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports on the Birther Ballot Jihad hearing.

"Lawyers for area residents mounting "birther" challenges told Deputy Chief Judge Michael Malihi that Obama should be found in contempt of court for not appearing when under subpoena to do so. But Malihi did not indicate he would recommend that and cut off one lawyer when he criticized Obama for not attending the hearing.

"It shows not just a contempt for this court, but contempt for the judicial branch," lawyer Van Irion told Malihi.

"I'm not interested in commentary on that, counselor," Malihi quickly replied."

Ooops.

And here's some pictures.

….Firstly, can you imagine a white girl from Kansas whoring around with black men in the late 50's and early 60's? Before Civil Rights, did anybody ever see a white girl with a black man? And we're supposed to believe she "MARRIED" a black man and had a black baby in l961 and kept it? Are we to believe she divorced the Muslim Kenyan to marry another black Muslim in the early 60's? And we're to believe she dumped obama with his white grandparents in the early 60's and they were thrilled, while she pranced off to school? At that time, didn't parents "secretly" send their daughters away to have babies and put up for adoption b/c of the shame, and that was a white man's baby?

Obama's entire existence seems nothing but an entire fable, made up by an idiot ! Will we ever learn the truth about that liar in the WH? I doubt it…."

It just gets worse and worse….

26 January - Atlanta Channel 11 (NBC) comments on the hearing.

26 January - Dr. Orly's client David Farrar is making the same claim Dean Haskins did.

"David Farrar

January 26th, 2012 at 2:33 pm
We have won our case. The Judge is going to declare a default judgement against Obama. In order for Obama to get his name on the Georgia ballot, he will have to actually sue the Secretary of State and win on appeal — not likely.
ex animo
davidfarrar"

Funny, if this was the case, I would have expected Dr. Orly to be on this like a rabid chihuahua, screeching it all over the place.

26 January - I've been writing about Dr. Orly for three years now. I can honestly say...

Good lord she looks like crap.

Here she was in January of 2009

Here she is now.

Is this what three years of blind hatred, insanity, rage and failure does to a person???

26 January - Carl Swensson is also claiming the fix is in and the judge told the attorneys before the hearing that he was ruling in their favour.

"The Judge pulled the lawyers for the three cases into chambers before it all began and advised them that he would be issuing a default judgment in our favor, since the Defense council failed to show, and wanted to end it there. We argued that all the evidence needed to be entered in to record so the Judge allowed for a speedy hearing where all evidence was entered into the court record. What that means is this… Any appeal, if one is even possible, would be based on the evidence provided by the lawyers in each case. "

Which happens to include both the short form and long form birth certificates. Good going there.

"Both Van Irion and My lawyer, Mark Hatfield made certain that our cases and evidence in those two cases would be closed so as not to be affiliated, in any way, with “Birther” Orly Taitz. As expected, she was an embarrassment."

Looks like Carl Swensson is also off Dr. Orly's holiday card list.

"Now we’re merely awaiting the publishing of this Judge’s ruling which, as previously stated, will be a Default Judgment.

In other words…we won."

They seem to be pretty confident of this victory lap….

"Now it’s time for the rest of the States to take my lead and duplicate this effort."

What, of ratting out their friends to the FBI as well??

Ego much??

26 January - Sam Sewell parrots Dean Haskins.

26 January - Oh how very charming…..

"The photo above showing seven young men with guns holding what seems to be a bullet-riddled T-shirt depicting President Barack Obama was, until recently, up on the Facebook page for Sergeant Pat Shearer of the Peoria Police Department.

The photo is captioned, "Another trip to the ranch," and features the comments "Damn it feels good to be a gangsta" and "They look like Gangsta's huh?"

26 January - David Weigel comments on the Birther Ballot Jihad hearing.

"What's going to happen? Probably nothing. There's no state Constitution that will keep a candidate off the ballot after the release of his long-form birth certificate; none of them have any room for the more fantastic theories of the Birtherati, about the citizenship of one's parents depriving him or her of natural born citizen status.

Why pay any attention at all? Oh, it's the irony. Since January 2011, Georgia has been governed by Nathan Deal. In Congress, Deal was one of the most prominent federal birthers. He sent a letter to Obama asking for more citizenship proof because, heck, citizens were Asking Questions.

Imagine now the pain of the Georgian birther. He's got one of his own, he thinks, in the mansion in Atlanta. And he gets no support whatever when he puts it on the line to take Obama's ballot status away! If it wasn't in the service of a racist conspiracy theory, it would be sad."

23 January - Video (with really crappy audio, much like the "live feed" audio) of Susan Daniels

Huckabee and Santorum (google it) are playing flirty birther games. Tracy Dorsey comes up with BRAND NEW EVIDENCE that turns out to be OLD STALE FRAUD, and makes a racist video to boot! Dr. Orly is trying to make it clear that it's All About Dr. Orly in birtherstan. Miki Booth throws Dean Haskin's shoes out the door and proclaims her undying devotion to the Temple of Orly.

The owner of an Atlanta Newspaper thinks it would be a great idea for Mossad to assassinate President Obama. Dean Haskins continues to get removed from birtherstani holiday lists. John Woodman gets shouted over by birther "experts". And Leo Donofrio engages in a 207 page legal wankfest that should leave him shaving his palms for a month.

20 January - Looks like Mike Huckabee is flirting with the birthers again.

"O'REILLY: Because the people, the folks, most of them, want you to. I think that's the answer to your question.

HUCKABEE: Well, but he has to forcefully tell it why he's not going to, why it's irrelevant, say, "Look, I've disclosed more than I need to." Let him make this challenge: "I'll release my tax returns when Barack Obama releases his college transcripts and the copy of his admission records to show whether he got any loans as a foreign student. When he releases that, talk to me about my tax returns.""

Huckabee is, of course, a repeat offender.

"This is not the first time Huckabee has promoted falsehoods about Obama's background. During a February 2011 radio interview, he repeatedly claimed that Obama had grown up "in Kenya." Huckabee drew heavy criticism for his comments from the media and offered an evolving series of explanations for his comments, eventually blaming Media Matters for bringing his remarks to light and falsely claiming he had been taken out of context."

20 January - Tracy Dorcey aka "KenyanBornObanAcorn" posts a video claiming "Explosive NEW EVIDENCE on Obama's Birth Place ~ Could this be Obama's REAL Birth Certificate"

One problem. It's neither new or evidence. Remember how there were three Fake "Kenyan" Birth Certificates that came up in 2009??

1) The "Bomford" fake. (Based on an Australian certificate)
2) The "Kenya Colony" fake. (Background contains the Dutch phrase "DIT IS GEEN GELDIG DOCUMENT VAN DE OVERHEID. DIT IS POLITIEKE COMMENTAAR. HIJ IS VOORZITTER VOOR MINSTENS DRIE EN EEN HALF VAN MEER JAREN. KEUR HET GOED. DIT ZAL NIET VERANDEREN.", which roughly translates to "This is not a valid government document. This is political commentary. He is President for at least three and a half more years. Get used to it, it's not going to change."
3) Lucas Smith's fake.

Tracy Dorsey uses the "Kenya Colony" fake in her video. (She's been seen before carrying around a large blow-up of Lucas Smith's fake, so her gullibility levels are pretty high)

So not even new, and a long since discredited fake to boot,(even on "Free Republic" and the conspiracy site "What Really Happened"). I'm sure some birthers will fall for it though.

21 January - I see Thomas MacLeran is riling up the troops again.

"If I see a killer approaching my house, I don’t wait for him to break into my house, nor do I invite him in the front door. Not me; I waste him where he is, yet our government ALLOWS our enemy, Muslims and illegal immigrants, free access, and then you tell me how “safe” we are.

No, we have to protect ourselves, and we have to protect our country. We have a total incompetent in the White House backed by a regime and advisors that are equally incompetent in safeguarding you and your prosperity. That’s reality. Another reality is you and you weapon. Believe this as fact: you HAVE to take care of your own first, and that includes your country. We better take charge of it."

21 January - Dr. Orly goes "It's all about ME!!! Send your money to MEEEE!!!!!" (malware and redirect warning)

"A few bloggers banded together in a pac. They show a logo “art2superpac” and state on their websites “art2superpac strategic partnership”. This pac claims to have a legal fund and donate to legal work to expose Obama as ineligible and remove him from office. Even though I’ve been working on this issue for 3 years and have done 99% of the work in this area, I never received 1 single cent from this group. "

So your complaint is that they never gave you any birther bucks??

"None of these bloggers is an attorney. Director of this group is a lifelong Democrat from Virginia, big Clinton supporter, Helen Tansey. Tansey is not an attorney, according to her bio she is unemployed since 2009, has only a BS. She sent mass-emails defaming me. Dean Haskins, an unemployed musician, who calls himself “Birthersummit” just two days ago posted on his blog the most defamatory article.."

So your complaint is that they never gave you any birther bucks and have people who said things about you that hurt your feelings??

"Haskins went even further, saying that this case will be my swan song, meaning dying swan, that I am done. "

I wouldn't say you're done, but I wouldn't be surprised if you have a public meltdown when things don't go your way on the 26th.

"Imagine, If I were to have less of a strength of character and would be influenced by all this garbage thrown at me for the last 3 years, I would have been crying in the corner somewhere."

I'm sure that's what you do when you're not in your manic phase.

"As a matter of fact, Haskins was outright saying to people not to donate to my work and to donate to several bloggers in this pac. This was done, when he and all of these bloggers knew, that I have to pay large amounts to fly several witnesses, where I had to fly to HI and GA and when I had to pay for the hotel for everyone. They are intentionally impeding my ability to work on this case and win. Why?"

Because they think your behaviour is hurting the birther cause. Simple.

21 January - Breaking up, is hard to do…..

"Miki Booth
FYI Facebook friends: I am disassociating myself with the Birther Summit and sent this email to Dean Haskins, Executive Director

Dean,

I would appreciate it if you remove my bio and all references of my association with Birther Summit immediately.

Your attacks against Orly Taitz are despicable and I will not tolerate it.

I also want to go on record that I asked several times to reconsider the name of the summit because the word "birther" is insulting and damages our credibility on the most important issue of our lifetime. I have worked too hard trying to save our country from tyranny and evil and your ego along with the egos of those who have chosen to stand with you against Orly is only defeating my purpose.

Sincerely,

Miki Booth"

What's so funny about Miki Booth whining about calling it the "Birther Summit" is the header on her webpage

Maybe that should be "American by Providence, Birther by Intelligence, Lying Hypocrite by Nature".

21 January - The owner and publisher of the Atlanta Jewish Times calls for an Israeli team to assassinate President Obama.

"Adler, who has since apologized for his article, listed three options for Israel to counter Iran’s nuclear weapons in an article published in his newspaper last Friday. The first is to launch a pre-emptive strike against Hamas and Hezbollah, the second is to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities and the third is to “give the go-ahead for U.S.-based Mossad agents to take out a president deemed unfriendly to Israel in order for the current vice president to take his place and forcefully dictate that the United States’ policy includes its helping the Jewish state obliterate its enemies.”

Adler goes on to write: “Yes, you read “three correctly.” Order a hit on a president in order to preserve Israel’s existence. Think about it. If have thought of this Tom-Clancy-type scenario, don’t you think that this almost unfathomable idea has been discussed in Israel’s most inner circles?”

Thankfully, saner heads prevail:

"The American Jewish Committee in Atlanta last night issued a harsh condemnation of Adler’s article, saying that his proposals are “shocking beyond belief.”

"While we acknowledge Mr. Adler's apology, we are flabbergasted that he could ever say such a thing in the first place. How could he even conceive of such a twisted idea?" said Dov Wilker, director of AJC Atlanta. "Mr. Adler surely owes immediate apologies to President Obama, as well as to the State of Israel and his readership, the Atlanta Jewish community."

Abraham Foxman, National Director of the Anti-Defamation League, also blasted Adler on Friday, saying "There is absolutely no excuse, no justification, no rationalization for this kind of rhetoric. It doesn't even belong in fiction. These are irresponsible and extremist words. It is outrageous and beyond the pale. An apology cannot possibly repair the damage. Irresponsible rhetoric metastasizes into more dangerous rhetoric. The ideas expressed in Mr. Adler's column reflect some of the extremist rhetoric that unfortunately exists -- even in some segments of our community -- that maliciously labels President Obama as an 'enemy of the Jewish people.' Mr. Adler's lack of judgment as a publisher, editor and columnist raises serious questions as to whether he's fit to run a newspaper.""

21 January - Dean Haskins asks if he's lost his mind for finally showing some sanity in regards to Dr. Orly.

"For quite some time, I have been part of what I can only describe as a logical disconnect, wherein multiple conversations would occur almost daily with leaders in our movement, and in those conversations, whenever the topic would turn to a certain “lawyer,” there would be nothing but complaints about procedural missteps and outlandish self-aggrandizing; but, at the same time, there was an underlying understanding that nothing about that could be stated publicly—that we were somehow responsible to take the good along with the bad, and that meant either public praise, or silence.

As long as I rationalized that, with everyone on the planet, acceptance is accompanied with both good and bad, then my silence wasn't so much a betrayal of truth as it was an assent to the human condition, and a belief that unity could help usher in our desired result. But then, a funny thing happened on my way to sanity—I asked myself a salient question, and my head nearly exploded: Where's the good?"

I've been wondering that about the entire birther movement since summer of 2008.

"I know there are some who believe that noise and activity, regardless of its veracity, is helpful, as it keeps a buzz going about our cause. Well, sometimes noise and activity is nothing but noise and activity, and, as I fear has happened in our cause, sometimes they can actually do damage.

This latest round of hyper posting is so unprofessional it boggles the mind. It's as if we're losing in a 96-0 football game, we accidentally intercept a poorly thrown pass, and suddenly, we've won the Super Bowl. Instead of collectively Tebowing, we should be contemplating what will likely happen in the next play."

The problem is Dr. Orly can't think that far ahead or allow for other outcomes. Every single thing she does has, in her mind, the same outcome - seeing Obama frogmarched out of the White House in chains. When that doesn't happen - or when she's told no - she doubles down on the crazy and keeps on going.

"Those who worship at the altar of Taitz might stop and ponder why it is that it wasn't until after my post on Thursday that she filed a request for letters rogatory. If I were a gambling man, I'd bet that, before my post, she had never even heard of a letter rogatory. However, even though she finally filed the right thing, she once again shot herself in the foot by asking a Georgia court to overturn Hawaii law. "

Oh, I would bet a small amount of money she hadn't heard it before then either, since her legal strategy seems to always be using whatever bright shiny legal term she just discovered in the very next filing.

"And, as long as you have brought that up, Orly has, once again, leveled a blitzkrieg at the Article2SuperPac, directing her minions not to donate to them, but to send donations only to her. Does this not disgust anyone else? And, she continues to lie about doing 99% of the work, so I guess, in her mind, we are the 1%. I'm thinking that, maybe, those who are involved in the Article2SuperPac should do a quick study into things like defamation, libel, injurious falsehood, interference with advantageous relations (trade libel), and possibly, negligent misrepresentation, and intentional infliction of emotional distress."

*Chuckle* Alas, the response from a good chunk of his fellow birthers can be summed up as:

I'll note that the birtherpoolza members page is currently off line with a 404 error.

21 January - John Woodman gets to try and debate Mara Zebest, Tom Harrison, and Karl Denninger on Mark Gillar's internet radio show. Swiftboat liar Jerome Corsi also makes an appearance.

(MP3 here)

I say "try and debate", because neither Mara Zebest, Tom Harrison, and Karl Denninger showed any interest in even letting John Woodman talk, much less debate his findings.

21 January - John Woodman does a wrap-up of his attempt to debate the birther "experts" on Reality Check's internet radio show.

(MP3 here)

21 January - Birther Report comments on the "debate".

At least a couple people notes the irony on how it was handled.

"Anonymous said…[Reply] The panel was ganging up on Woodman, saying that he was being ARGUMENTATIVE when he was just pointing out a major contradiction in their theory!? He was using facts to point out contradiction and of course the birthers used "Alinksky tactics" to try to wiggle out of it. January 22, 2012 7:08 AM"

"Kenneth Olsen said…[Reply] Thanks for the link to this radio show. The experts did seem to gang up rather than just let the soporific Woodman guy expose his incompetence and preposterosity.

Why is no one, including Obama, allowed near the long form birth certificate? Is it an innocuous government document, or is it a religious relic?!
January 22, 2012 10:58 AM"

Even the host notes it.

"Mark Gillar said…[Reply] @Anonymous

…I agree about the ganging up. It should be noted that it was Woodman's idea to debate so many people at once. He actually wanted Paul Irey and Joseph Farah to join in as well.

There was a lot of good information presented in this debate, but fewer participants would have made for a much better debate.
January 22, 2012 11:27 AM

Personally I think it more shows Mark Gillar's lack of skills as a host and lack of interest in actually trying to moderate the "debate", but that's just me.

22 January - Dr. Orly trumpets Miki Booth's breakup with Birtherpoolza. (malware and redirect warning)

"AUTHOR AND PATRIOT MIKI BOOTH AND OTHERS ASKED DEAN HASKINS TO REMOVE THEIR NAMES FROM THE LIST OF SUPPORTERS OF BIRTHER SUMMIT
Posted on | January 22, 2012 "

She's also still upset that the Article II Super Duper Extra Crispy PAC didn't give her any money or allow her to play in their reindeer games.

"Known patriots and dissidents against Obama regime stood up against several bloggers who simply defamed me right before trial in GA. Last month, I submitted a 85 page complaint and testified before the Ballot law commission in NH. Commission simply chose to disregard all the evidence , claiming, that they have no jurisdiction to investigate the facts and chosen to put Obama on the ballot simply because he paid $1,000 and filled out a form. One, Helen Tansey, sent an e-mail to multiple individuals, claiming that because NH Ballot law commission ruled against me, it somehow means, that I did something wrong and incompetent. Miki Booth sent an e-mail to the same group of individuals, supporting me and pointing out all the work that I’ve done and the fact that Helen Tansey so far did not do anything."

And look who's off Dr. Orly's holiday card list:

"Subsequently the same Helen Tansey got together with a few bloggers and formed a pac. It was reported to me, that the board of this pac consists of a blogger Bob Nelson (BirtherReport, Obama ReleaseYourRecords ORYR), Helen Tansey, Gary Wilmott, Kevin Powell and George Miller, who runs a blog ObamaBallotchallenge together with Pamela Barnett. Neither one of these people is an attorney, neither one of them can represent any clients in court. "

Oh dear. Looks like Dr. Orly may have thrown one of her biggest supporters and fangirls under the bus.

"So all of these bloggers are posting the same logo on their web sites they are asking people to donate to Article2legaldefensefund, that they run, they are saying “donate now, Help with Obama eligibility battle” but neither of them is a lawyer, and their board member is used as an attack dog, who is attacking the lawyer, who did most of the work for the last 3 years. "

"IT'S ALL ABOUT MEEEEE!!!! SEND YOUR MONEY TO MEEEEE!!!!!!!"

"Even after Judge Malihi ruled in my favor and it was proven, that actions of Nelson and Tansey and Haskins were defamatory, neither one of these individuals, who claimed to be my supporters ever posted a statement condemning those defamatory statements by Tansey, Nelson, Haskins and demanding an apology from them. "

Wait a minute?? Is trying to say the judge's ruling was AGAINST Nelson, Tansey, and Haskins??

Wow, ego much??

"I guess an opportunity to get some donations outweighed basic decency."

Not that Dr. Orly would know anything about basic decency.

And in comments

"Thomas/PatriotofPast
January 22nd, 2012 @ 8:54 am
Orly… I have a suggestion for you. Since these “wannabe” attorneys/bloggers are asking for donations off of YOUR HARD WORK… They kind of sound like You are working for THEM!
So if that is the Case… Send EACH OF THEM A BILL for YOUR WORK (if they are claiming this on YOUR behalf) why not???
A-Holes like these people DESERVE exactly what they have worked for… NOTHING!
God Bless, Take Care Orly.
Thomas"

Wow. Then maybe Dr. Orly can send Philip Berg, Mario Apuzzo, Leo Donofrio and many, many other attorneys a check to pay them back for all their hard work she stole for her filings.

22 January - Tracy Dorsey comes up with another video about the Georgia Birther Ballot Jihad.

It's always interesting when a birther goes over into blind racism.

23 January - And not surprisingly, some birthers do fall for Tracy Dorsey's latest.

"A video was released on Jan 20, 2012 by KenyanBornObamAcorn entitled “Explosive NEW EVIDENCE on Obama’s Birth Place ~ Could this be Obama’s REAL Birth Certificate?” It shows another birth certificate that was discovered for Barack Obama. This one claims he was born at King George VI Hospital in Nairobi, Kenya. The author of the video believes that the other copy of an Obama birth certificate showing Barack Obama was born at Coast Province Hospital in Mombasa, Kenya acquired by Lucas Smith is also an original and authentic. The theory is that Barack was moved from one hospital to the other making both Kenyan birth certificates valid and genuine."

Notice how the birthers have been digging up and dusting off all the moldy oldies of late??

23 January - Leo Donofrio files an "Amicus Curiae" brief in the Georgia Birther Ballot Jihad.

(Scribd link here)

It's 209 pages, of which 152 pages are the appendix. An appendix this swollen usually needs to be removed before it bursts. And the remaining 55 pages has some legal gems like:

"…the English common law term, “natural-born subject”, being a uniquely spiritual designation, was only granted to members of the Christian faith, and cannot govern the definition of “natural born Citizen”, because such a construction would be repugnant to the 1st Amendment of the United States Constitution."

For which he claims this as proof:

"Calvin's Case was a direct result of a unifying succession, through King James, of the separate kingdoms of England and Scotland. Despite sharing the same monarch, each kingdom retained its own laws and parliaments. In England, only British subjects could inherit and be inheritable, so the question before the court was whether a person born in Scotland, after the unification of the thrones, was an English subject who could inherit lands in England. The Court of King’s Chamber held that the plaintiff (Calvin) could inherit as an English subject because, despite being born in Scotland as a subject thereof, he was naturalized at birth by the law of nature which vested the spiritual power of God in the physical body of the King, so that the subjects of each of the two separate nations owed direct allegiance to the one natural body of the King, rather than to his separate body politic of each nation"

Problem is that the portion of said case he cites makes no such claim.

"Wherefore to conclude this point (and to exclude all that hath been or could be objected against it) if the obedience and ligeance of the subject to his sovereign be due by the law of nature, if that law be parcel of the laws, as well of England, as of all other nations, and is immutable, and that postnati and we of England are united by birthright, in obedience and ligeance (which is the true cause of natural subjection) by the law of nature; it followeth that Calvin the plaintiff being born under one ligeance to one King, cannot be an alien born;" 7 Coke Report 14 b, 77 ER pg. 394. (Emphasis added.) (App. Pgs. 71-72.)"

And later, Donofrio cites:

"The statute illustrates that, in England, jus sanguinis was considered relevant to civic status, and public rights. Even after statutes were enacted to change the common law, which restricted non-Christians from being subjects, the civic rights of non-Christians were still restricted"

For which he cites:

“Charles II, after his return, allowed Jews to remain, and their English-born children became subjects under the jus soli rule. Although, like other non-Anglicans, these Jewish subjects were excluded from public life and the universities. . .” “Subjects, Citizens, Aliens And Others”, by Ann Dummett and Andrew Nicol, Fred B Rothman & Co (1990), pg. 77. (App. Pg. 135.)"

Donofrio seems to think that discrimination somehow means that the person discriminated against has a lower degree of citizenship. (and, for the record, that statue was used against Catholics and Christians who were not in communion with the Anglican church as well.)

Then Donofrio goes off to claim that the original English translations of "The Laws of Nations" wasn't translated right.

"From the 1775 edition of Vattel’s text, The Law of Nations or Principles of the Law of Nature:

“Les citoyen font les member de la societe civille: lies a cette societe par certain devoirs, & foumis a fon autorite, ils participent avec egalite a fes avantages. Les naturels, ou indigenes, font ceux, qui font nes dans le pays, de parens citoyens.” “Le Droit Des Gens ou Principes De La Loi Naturelle”, E. de Vattel, (Amsterdam, 1775), § 212, pg. 115. (App. Pg. 157.)

Vattel’s treatise was first published in 1758, in French. The first edition contains the
exact same passage as the 1775 edition give to Franklin by Dumas. In 1759, the first
English edition was published in London, translated as follows:

“The citizens are the members of the civil society : bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or indigenes, are those born in the country of parents who are citizens.” “The Law of Nations or Principles of the Law of Nature”, E. de Vattell, (London, 1759), § 212, pg. 92. (App. Pg. 159.)

“Les naturals, ou indigenes”, was not accurately translated. The proper translation of “indigenes” is “natives”. The 1759 London edition makes the mistake of repeating the same word twice, once in English and once in French; “natives or indigenes” means “natives or natives”.

Actually the proper translation of "indigenes" is "indigenous".

French translation - FAIL.

"The influence of the U.S. Constitution may have played a part in correcting the error, since, in the 1797 London edition, and thereafter, the French passage was correctly translated as follows:

“The citizens are the members of the civil society : bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country of parents who are citizens.” (Emphasis added.) “The Law of Nations or Principles of the Law of Nature”, E. de Vattell, (London, 1797), § 212, pg. 101. (App. Pg. 161.)"

I've noted before that neither the French or the English translations that existed at the time the Constitution was ratified contain the definition of "Natural Born Citizen" that the birthers like to cite. Donofrio attempts to explain this away by claiming the Constitution "got the definition right" and that later versions of "The Law of Nations" were "corrected" to reflect the claimed "Constitutional" definition.

Circular logic, see: Logic, circular.

23 January - Verbalobe offers their take on the Georgia Birther Ballot Jihad.

"He can’t possibly be prepared for the paroxysm of hate, fury, and fear — all of it utterly blind and incapable of either reason or argument — that he is about to unleash. He will find himself trying to feign a judicial temperament in front of the full, awful display of moral idiocy. He will try, belatedly, to guide the record into pockets of sanity, vestiges of relevance, any sense of logical argument at all, any sequence of if this, then that where “that” bears any relationship to “this,” any understanding of law, any consistency, even any objective or plea for relief that he, or anyone, could fulfill — but there will be none. He will grasp at the merest slivers, straws in the wind, hoping for a fact, a witness, a piece of evidence, anything that will restore his proceedings to any semblance of law.

Has he ever read a transcript of an Orly argument? He is not prepared.

He will look imploringly at defense counsel Jablonski, silently begging him to raise an objection, to help him find some way to stop her from feeenishing, which she has never been known to do. Jablonski will not oblige.

It will be the worst day of ALJ Malihi’s life, the day he handed a bullhorn to a petty rabble of insane patriots, whose entire argument boils down to: he ain’t Murcan — he can’t be. He ain’t like me an’ he gotta funny name.

He ain’t hardly fit to shine my shoes. Jes’ look at ‘im.

Good going, Georgia. Own it."

23 January - Rick Santorum (google it) refuses to denounce a birther at a town hall meeting.

"At a Rick Santorum town hall meeting in Lady Lake, Florida moments ago, a woman stood up to declare that she doesn’t like to refer to “President Obama as president because, legally, he is not.” While the audience gasped and clapped at the comment, Santorum restrained himself, refusing to utter a critical word.

The lady continued, Obama “totally ignores” the Constitution, prompting a nod of approval from Santorum. Then she went even further with her conspiracy rant:

He is an avowed Muslim. [applause] And my question is: why isn’t something being done to get him out of our government? He has no legal right to be calling himself President.

In an exemplary show of cowardice, Santorum did not tell the woman that she had her facts wrong or even bother to distance himself from the previous comments. Instead, he did the opposite, giving sanction to her views. “I’m doing my best to get him out” of office, Santorum said, “and you’re right about — he uniformly ignores the Constitution.”

What's disgusting is the applause and cheers this woman is getting. And Santorum didn't seem to object to all the recess appointment and "czars" that GW Bush did……

23 January - Looks like Birtherpoolza is partnering with the Article II Super Duper Extra Crispy PAC to sponsor the live feed of Thursday's hearing.

"Because of the considerable cost involved with providing a live video feed of the three Georgia hearings that will be taking place on Thursday, January 26, Vattelevision, LLC, the parent company of The Birther Summit, has agreed to partner financially with Article II Super PAC to be able to provide the finest coverage to the greatest number of national viewers."

I'm still wondering if they're going to cut away when it's Dr. Orly's turn.

"Additionally, Dean Haskins will be on site to assist with the video feed arrangements, outside video interviews of notable attendees, and as an eyewitness to the proceedings."

Oh dear. And the cactus loofa herself will be there demanding that all the attention and limelight be upon her nitrous-addled self. How very awkward.

"He will follow up with a report (including the video interviews), and states that he will do so with an eye for honesty, and not sensationalism."

I'll believe that when I see it.

23 January - Despite Dr. Orly's insistence that Obama will be forced to appear at the Georgia Birther Ballot Jihad on thursday, some legal experts are going "No, no, not really."

"Marietta lawyer Melvin Goldstein, who is not involved in the case, said if the hearing goes on as scheduled without Obama, Malihi could refer the matter to a Fulton County Superior Court judge. It would be up to that judge to decide whether to enforce the subpoena and, if necessary, hold the president in contempt, Goldstein said.

Eric Segall, a Georgia State University law professor, predicted that won’t happen.

“There have been many, many lawsuits trying to litigate the issue of the president’s nationality,” Segall said. “They have all been dismissed and this one should be too. In light of the frivolousness of the case, the judge has no valid authority to require the president to appear in court.”

This might be a disappointment to all the little birtherstani who wanted to see their "Lady Liberty" make that scary black man dance to her tune.

23 January - I have four questions coming to mind about thursday's birther ballot jihad in Georgia.

1) Is Carl Swenssen going to throw a fit if the courtroom has a flag with a gold fringe on it?
2) Is the Birtherpoolza / Article II Super Duper Extra-Crispy PAC going to cut away when it's Dr. Orly's turn?
3) Is Dr. Orly going to throw a fit if any attention is NOT paid to her and her alone?
4) Is Dr. Orly going to claim a default judgement if Obama doesn't appear?

In today's dispatches, Ron Polland/Polarik continues his long slide into insanityland. The SPLC notes the past history of some of the people involved in the Georgia Birther Ballot Jihad. Sarah Palin riles the birthers.

We have the order of dismissal in Sorensen v Kennedy, along with a nastygram Sorensen sent to Kennedy after the dismissal.

Dean Haskins shows some personal courage in daring to point out to his fellow birthers that Dr. Orly is harming their crusade more than helping it, with the predictable response from Dr. Orly. Meanwhile, some of Dr. Orly's allies in California start their own Birther Ballot Jihad, while the other players in the Georgia Birther Ballot Jihad submit a "dance for us boy" motion to the court.

Colour me unimpressed with the attorney for the Georgia Democratic Party. The judge in that case seems to think so too as he denies the defense motion to quash Dr. Orly's subpoenas and Dr. Orly promptly piddles on the carpet and goes complete apedump insane with a pre-hearing "victory lap" that shows her as petty, immature, and just flat out nasty. And those are her good points.

17 January - I suspect Dr. Orly isn't the only one who's losing what's left of their mind.

"Dr. Ron Polland said…[Reply]
Let's start with why is Obama refusing to release his:

KINDERGARTEN RECORDS
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL RECORDS
JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL RECORDS
HIGH SCHOOL RECORDS
OCCIDENTAL COLLEGE RECORDS
COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY RECORDS
HARVARD LAW SCHOOL RECORDS

The answer is an EXTREMELY EASY one to answer:

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA II is an alias.

He is an imposter. His life is an entire lie.

He never achieved anything in life on his own.

He was bought and paid for his entire existence.

The man in the White House is an impostor, usurper, and traitor, and everything that you have been told about him either came from him, or his handlers like Bill Ayers.

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA II did not come into existence until 1982 after BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA Sr. died in a car crash (homicide).

Alias Barack Obama stole his name and his legacy.

Stanley Ann Dunham is not a real person, but a composite person, consisting of two main biographies woven together. The first SAD died in 1975. The second SAD took her place and that is the anthropologist who went to work for the Ford Foundation.

The fraud must be unmasked before the election.
January 18, 2012 8:00 AM

Wow. Ron Polland/Polarik is going into Martha Trowbridge territory.

18 January - The Southern Poverty Law Center "Hatewatch" blog reports on the Georgia Birther Ballot Jihad.

“I can’t believe this,” Orly Taitz, an attorney who filed one of the complaints, exclaimed on her blog. “[Obama] will have to stand trial to prove his eligibility for office.”

Not exactly. Under the rules of the hearing, scheduled for Jan. 26, Obama does not have to be present – and he won’t be put on trial."

She keeps being told that, and keeps ignoring reality.

However, there's this blurb:

"Joining her with challenges in Georgia is another man represented by Van R. Irion, of the Liberty Legal Foundation in Knoxville, Tenn. Irion was a former board member of the Southern Legal Resource Center, which serves as the legal arm of the neo-Confederate movement by challenging “heritage violations.”

How very interesting. Especially since he's still listed on their board of directors.

There are times I suspect it would be harder to find a birther who ISN'T a Neo-Confederate.

18 January - Sarah Palin claims that Obama "wasn't vetted" and the birthers go apedump.

"Anonymous said…[Reply] Wasn't some of the vetting supposed to be done by the candidates? John McCain was a wet noodle and wouldn't say anything about the natural born citizen issues. Didn't speak to the issues or the hidden records and was so lame in attacking Obama that it he came off looking weak. Now you have a platform because of your fame and again you seem to be frightened to speak about the ineligibility issues that are still out there now in the Republican party with a nominee whose father was born in Mexico of all places. January 18, 2012 5:49 AM"

"Anonymous said…[Reply]
Love Sarah but she is like the rest of them. Wont speak out on Obama's lack of qualification for office as he is not a natural born citizen(she may not know what that is)and his birth certificate being a forgery. Her failure to speak out on this while also failing to take a leadership role in "vetting" Obama i.e. get to the bottom of his background, his schools and the timeline of his adoption and citizenship(I don't even think Obama is a US Citizen) etc is just another example of a cowardly conservative.

She's calling for a better job of "vetting" him but offers no plan or promise of action. She is a just another hack and if I hear another one of them talk about the importance of the Constitution while doing nothing, I am going to puke. The biggest traitors in our country are those with the power to do something who do nothing so she's as a big a traitor as anyone not in Congress.

Palin is a big disappointment. In the video she says if she were in South Carolina she would vote for Newt and then says we need more vetting of candidates because there was a mistake made last time by not vetting Obama based on his associations and pals, and what he was thinking.

A personal message to Sarah Palin: You have to share the blame for what usurper Obama has done to this country because you had the chance in 2008 but refused to vet Obama/Soetoro based upon the US Constitution, Article II, Section 1, natural born citizen requirement. You knew then that Obama's father was never a US citizen and therefore he could not meet the same Senate Resolution 511 standard that was applied to McCain (born to 2 US citizen parents). Now all you can say is that we should vet Obama on who his pals were and what he is thinking?

If Palin wants to play flirty games with the birtherstani, she may find that ship sailed.

19 January - Order of dismissal in Soerensen v Kennedy

(Scribd link here)

"THIS MATTER CAME TO BE HEARD on the Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss,Plaintiff’s Motion of Recusal, and the Plaintiff’s Motion to Dismiss. After a hearing and due consideration, the Court concludes that the Plaintiff’s Motion of Recusal is due to be DENIED and the Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss is due to be granted and this case is hereby DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.

As for the request for recusal:

Initially, it should be noted that this Court takes the Plaintiff’s Motion of Recusal very seriously. Accusations of “racial bias” (or any other kind of bias) against this or any other court obviously cannot be ignored, regardless of how specious the claim might be. This Court notes,however, that the Plaintiff did not attempt to offer any evidence in support of his allegation and when this Court gave the Plaintiff the opportunity at the hearing to explain his claim, he was unable to articulate any legitimate reason why this Court should be disqualified from deciding this matter. See Ex parte Monsanto Co., 862 So.2d 595, 605-06 (Ala. 2003) (“The burden of proof is on the party seeking recusal. [A] mere accusation of bias that is unsupported by substantial fact does not require the disqualification of a judge.” (Citations omitted)).

As for costs:

"Finally, the Defendant has asked this Court to award him costs and attorney’s fees because the present action is frivolous, vexatious, interposed for an improper purpose, and is without substantial justification. This Court agrees. The present action is the third virtually identical case filed within the past month seeking to enjoin the Alabama Democratic Party from certifying President Barack Obama as the party’s nominee for President on the 2012 primary election ballot. Alabama law could not be clearer that the courts have no jurisdiction to hear this case. "

Since when have the birthers paid attention to the law??

"The Court takes judicial notice that the Plaintiff previously filed an action in the CircuitCourt of Montgomery County claiming that President Obama was not a “natural born citizen.” Harold Sorensen v. Bob Riley, No. CV-2008-1906 (Montgomery Co. Cir. Ct.).That action was also summarily dismissed. The Court also notes that the Plaintiff was present at the hearing in Albert Hendershot, Jr. v. Mark Kennedy, No. CV-2011-002321.00. The Court finds, therefore,that the Plaintiff clearly knew or reasonably should have known that this action was without substantial justification. The Court concludes that a sanction in the form of an award of costs and attorney’s fees is justified in the present case"

In other words, "Sorensen SHOULD have known better."

"At the hearing in this matter, however, counsel for the Defendant indicated that theDefendant would forego any award of costs and fees if the Plaintiff would refrain from filing any additional actions such as the present case or collaborating with others to initiate any such actions. The Plaintiff indicated at the hearing that he would comply with the Defendant’s conditions. Based upon the Defendant’s suggestion, this Court will suspend the imposition of sanctions against the Plaintiff while retaining jurisdiction over this matter should the Plaintiff continue his vexatious conduct.

The present action is hereby DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE, costs taxed as paid"

I'm suspecting Sorensen won't be able to keep his mouth shut.

19 January - And based on this letter from Sorensen to Kennedy, I'm suspecting he's already broken said agreement:

(Scribd link here)

"No where in my letter or court filings did I ever mention race. It was the Court Judge and your Attorney that interjected the "race card". Your attorney even filed a motion indicating that regardless what the Judge does you would still certify him. Is that not showing utter disdain and contempt for the Judge and the Court?"

Actually "utter disdain and contempt for the Judge and the Court" would have been Sorensen's motion of recusal (Scribd link here) that clearly stated:

"Due to racial bias, lack of judicial discretion as well as lack of knowledge of the U.S. Constitution, Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 which states: "No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the OffIce of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States." Additionally, Judge Lee has violated her oath of office under the Alabama Constitution, Article XV, Oath of Office: Section 1."

Did Sorensen FORGET his own motion of recusal?? Or is he just lying though his teeth?

"This case was based on Citizens are compelled under law, Title 18 U.S.C. § 4. Misprision of felony. Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognlzable by a court of the United States, conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both. .
'We don't know his legal name or his age. He is using a stolen SSN, won't pass e-verify and has forged Birth Certificates. Isn't Forgery, numerous social security numbers, identity theft criminal acts?

We know his legal name and age, both short form and long form have been verified by the State of Hawaii, there is no proof of forgery or a stolen SSN, and the evidence points towards a new SSN issued after Dr. Orly broadcast the old one all over the place.

Next?

"Forty nine years ago I took an Oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution and I still hold to that Oath today. I have notified a Judge, a court, and civil authority that Candidate Barry Soetoro a.k.a. Barack Obama or by numerous other alias is not Constitutionally qualified for the Office of President of the United States."

And have been told - repeatedly - by the courts your myths and theories have no merit and that he is qualified.

You were told that in 2008 when you claimed he was born in Kenya. You were told that in 2012 when you played the de Vattelist card. The fact of the matter is that the birthers have NEVER provided any scrap of credible evidence to back up any of their claims.

"The Democratic Party shall now being known as the Party of sanctions against a Senior Citizen, Retired Military/DOD Employee who once supported Democrats and the Democrat Party."

Playing the age pity card are we?? I don't' see why you should get a pass because you're a bitter senior citizen.

And I suspect the days you supported the DemocratIC party was during the days of the "dixiecrats" and before the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

19 January - Way back in summer of 2008, Chris Cedeno at "Yes to Democracy" asked to repost a piece I wrote. Which led in time to "Bad Fiction".

Well, she's got a new political blog, "Chrisolitics"

Go take a look. :-)

19 January - Oh dear. Looks like Dean Haskins has thrown Dr. Orly under the bus.

"In so doing, I have discovered a disheartening parallel that can be drawn. For more than three years, we have literally screamed our disapproval of the vast numbers of Americans who have accepted statements at face value made by a campaign, an administration, Congress, and the media, and we have labeled such people "sheeple." But, sadly, many in our movement have done the same thing regarding the one person who has garnered the lion's share of public attention in this matter, by accepting at face value that anything positive was occurring.

At issue are two dynamics concerning Orly Taitz I believe need to be addressed—namely, a lack of understanding of the law, and a megalomaniacal persona. As to the former, I am not a lawyer, I am a musician who sometimes writes personal commentary. I stepped away from my career some months ago for this initiative, and have not drawn a penny, personally, from the efforts of The Birther Summit. To understand Orly's lack of legal knowledge, I've had to do some research on my own—but that's something a lawyer is supposed to have done before bringing any action to court."

Since when has Dr. Orly ever done any of her own research? She's always asking her cavity creeps to play Stephen Fetchit for her.

"Just as you likely did, I saw articles pop up across the internet proclaiming that a judge had issued a subpoena for Loretta Fuddy to appear in Georgia, and to bring certain documents with her, including Barack Obama's original birth certificate. I then saw articles stating, in no uncertain terms, that Barack Obama had been ordered by a judge to "stand trial" in Georgia, and that Orly Taitz was finally granted "discovery." Out of intense curiosity, I began looking seriously into these claims (something, I fear, many of us have been remiss at doing).

Here is what I discovered about those fantastic claims: none of them were actually true—at least, not in a legal sense. "

So in other words, you discovered the exact same things the birther debunkers have been telling all of you about Dr. Orly and her legal arguments long before the light finally dawned on you all.

"First, what has been repeatedly referred to as a "trial," will not be a trial, but an administrative hearing. Folks, it is being conducted by Georgia's Office of State Administrative Hearings. That should be the first clue about what will actually take place! "

Dope springs eternal. People believed it to be a "trial" because they WANTED it to be a trial.

"Next, is the matter of the subpoenas. A Georgia court has jurisdiction to subpoena residents of the State of Georgia. Period. If someone who resides in a state other than Georgia is to be issued a subpoena, the attorney requesting the subpoena would first have to request the Georgia court for a commission and/or a letter rogatory, which would go to a court in the state in which that person resides, and that court would have to issue a subpoena. Orly skipped that step and merely mailed out multiple subpoenas as if they were enforceable (which, they most certainly, are not)."

Haskins got this one right.

"Interestingly, one of the "witnesses" Orly lists is "Custodian of records Assissi [sic] school Jakarta, Indonesia;" so, not only does Orly believe that Georgia somehow has jurisdiction over Hawaii and other states (which, it doesn't), she seems to believe that it has jurisdiction over Jakarta, Indonesia as well. Are you beginning to see the problem here?

Not only has no judge in this country (or any other) ordered Barack Obama to "stand trial," Orly has not been granted the discovery she has claimed to have been granted. In fact, administrative hearings don't even allow for discovery:"

And the birthers are finally starting to wake up to that fact. I guess they can learn something.

"Here's the part that Orly really doesn't seem to comprehend: every time she submits a motion asking for the Hawaii DOH to allow inspection of Obama's original "birth certificate," she is asking for them to break the law. When they don't acquiesce to her request, she shrieks and shrills that everyone involved is corrupt. Setting aside the possibility that everyone involved IS corrupt (or, maybe even the probability of it), they are not corrupt simply because Orly hasn't gotten access to the document. In that issue, they are only obeying the law (which, by definition, might actually be the opposite of "corrupt")."

Haskins is forgetting or overlooking one key detail - in Dr. Orly's mind, the simple fact of being told "no" is de facto proof that the person telling her no is corrupt, a traitor, and more than likely working for Obama in secret.

"Here is why Orly will NEVER get what she has repeatedly requested. The law makes it clear that the only people who are entitled to receive a copy of the record are those with a direct and tangible interest, most often being immediate family members. Under the law, there is no way to interpret it such that Orly (or anyone other than Obama's immediate family) has a direct and tangible interest in his birth certificate.

And, legally, Barack Obama doesn't have the authority to release that of which he is not the owner, only the State can do that—because it is the owner of the record. Additionally, the State has made the law regarding those records impenetrable by also requiring that those records, which it owns, are subject to privacy laws that prohibit it from releasing them to anyone except those with a direct and tangible interest."

*Applause*

"Believe me, I understand the principle of flinging enough poo against the wall in the belief that, eventually, something will stick; and generally, I know that, in the right situation, that can be an effective approach."

Well, it IS the normal birther stock in trade.

"We have been saying for nearly four years now that all we want is the truth; but, to me, we should not use deception and outright lies to obtain that truth—and, incompetence is not an excuse for dishonesty, neither is it conclusive proof that the other side is corrupt"

*Laugh* Oh, really?? Any facts get explained away in birherstan, deception and outright lies have been all the birthers have had since 2008, and almost every single birther out there has shown outstanding levels of dishonesty and incompetence at worse, willful ignorance at best.

The fact that Dr. Orly has gotten to a point that the birthers are noticing only underscores how bad she's gotten.

"I think it is important for all of us to understand the truth in this matter, and what we're up against, and I just haven't been seeing all that much truth being bandied about in this particular case. "

Or in any of the other 96 cases the birthers have brought forth.

"Not long after the genesis of The Birther Summit, I was made privy to an email Orly had sent to an unknown number of people. In it, Orly shared things about me that were demonstrably false. In discussing what, possibly, could have caused her to disseminate such lies, the explanation I received from several people came down to, "That's just what Orly does." As inappropriate as I believed that email to be, I chose to publicly ignore it, and eventually, even donated money to Orly's cause."

So let me get this straight. You knew Dr. Orly lies about people and spread those lies around. And yet, you still decided to publicly support her and donate money to her.

Exodus 23:1-2

"However, recently, there have been some good, upstanding people who have been on the receiving end of Orly's baseless wrath, and there have been statements made about those people—friends of mine—that were not only untrue, they were mean-spirited and bordered on libel. These are people who have been working tirelessly in our cause since its beginning, and, because they are working in areas apart from what Orly is doing, or they merely tried to ascertain the validity of some of Orly's claims, they were branded as "Obama operatives."

Anyone who took a good look at Dr. Orly's past history and background would have known that the minute someone stops being useful to Dr. Orly, she turns against them.

In her world, you're either with her or a damned traitor. There is no middle ground.

"Additionally, Orly's tirades against these people have consistently equated them as traitors to our cause because she "accuses" them of not sending money to her, or she believes that the financial needs of what they are trying to accomplish might divert funds away from being donated to her—and, from her statements, it appears Orly believes she deserves ALL funds that might be donated to our cause."

And you're just *now* noticing this?? I've been mentioning this about Dr. Orly for three years now.

"I do want to provide an additional clarification here. Orly published on her website that ORYR stated that her subpoenas were "illegal." That never happened, as ORYR simply posted statements questioning the validity of the subpoenas, which, as I've explained here, are perfectly valid questions. However, the fact that Orly stated that about ORYR goes to the very heart of the deception and spin. She tells lies, and, unfortunately, those who refer to her as "Lady Liberty" (for whatever reason), blindly believe what she posts."

Again, you're just now noticing this??

"I wish that after such a brutally honest commentary, I could conclude with some consoling sentiment such as, "but I'm sure she's a really nice person," but after so many vicious, unwarranted attacks on friends, I can't even do that.

And, I know that, using her typical M.O., she may try to say that I never "donated even one penny" to her, but that wouldn't be true. She may try to say that she has been doing all the work, and that I have stayed behind a keyboard doing nothing but criticizing, but that wouldn't be true. She may try to say that I am cowardly hiding behind a fictitious name, but that wouldn't be true. She may try to say that I haven't been involved in filing any lawsuits for this cause, but that wouldn't be true. And, after everything I have been doing for our cause, one can hardly call me an "Obama operative," so, I would hope nobody would try leveling such a ridiculous accusation!"

Oh, don't worry. Dr. Orly will be more than happy to call you an "Obot traitor".

"Aside from all that, I am certain there will be personal attacks against me—but, in the end folks, watch what happens in Georgia (and Hawaii). Just watch. I don't have to be a prophet to accurately predict that one. And, for those who might be doubting what I have said, do a little research; that's all it took for me to find out what the truth is. And, the truth is the reason I found it necessary to write this article in the first place; for I'm not interested in popularity contests.

Personal attacks to start in 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . ."

All kidding and mocking aside, it's actually good that Haskins not only finally noticed Dr. Orly's lack of people and legal skills, but actually publicly rebuked her. That took some personal courage to go against someone he had publicly supported.

Though I will also note that as of the day I write this (19 January), she's still listed as a member of birtherpoolza. That's going to be one awkward gathering…..

19 January - And another Birther Ballot Jihad, this one in California.

"One of the seven California Petitioners is Edward C. Noonan of Olivehurst, Yuba County, CA. He is currently a 2012 Presidential candidate for the American Independent Party.

The other six California petitioners are Pamela Barnett (Director of ObamaBallotChallenge.com), Sharon Chickering, George Miller, Tony Dolz, Neil Turner, and Gary Wilmott. All seven petitioners are affirmed as Ad Hoc registered voters of California, each self represented without an attorney."

How interesting. There seems to be a name missing…..

Scribd link to the complaint here It's pretty much 100% de Vattelist nonsense.

What's interesting is that some of the names are some of Dr. Orly's closest allies……and Dr. Orly is nowhere to be seen.

19 January - Dr. Orly files her opposition to quash her subpoenas.

Scribd link here

"Defendant starts by stating that the hearing would require him to interrupt his duties in order to appear for an administrative hearing in Fulton County GA. It is noteworthy, that this statement comes on the heels of his extended 17 day Hawaiian vacation, which cost U.S. taxpayers 4 million dollars. Mr. Obama has earned a dubious distinction as a Vacationer in Chief, Tourist in Chief, Partier in Chief and a Golfer in Chief due to his endless vacations, parties and rounds of golf."

GW Bush spent a full quarter of his two terms in office on vacation. As of August 2011, Obama took 61 days. GW Bush had taken 180 days, and Reagan 112 days.

Let us know when he gets to either Reagan or GW Bush's vacation days.

"Considering all of the above, it is not too much to ask for Mr. Obama to show up once at a hearing and present his original identification records, which were not seen by anyone in the country yet."

Actually he has - repeatedly. You just refuse to accept them as proof, and want to make the uppity darkie jump though hoops to "learn his place."

"Significance of the trial in Fulton county GA has repercussions on the nation as a whole as surely finding of this trial will affect decisions around the country, as other states will need to ascertain, whether to allow Mr. Obama on the ballot as an eligible candidate."

Except it's not a trial - something even your fellow birthers are trying to tell you!

"Considering the fact that in his Indonesian school records, Mr. Obama is listed as an Indonesian National, it is reasonable to subpoena his Immigration/Naturalization records and passport records. If indeed he came back from Indonesia as an Indonesian national and had to go through immigration/naturalization proceedings, he would be a naturalized citizen, not natural born and would not qualify for the position of the U.S. President, as the U.S. President is supposed to be Natural born."

Again, a US citizen minor cannot renounce or lose their US citizenship.

19 January - Dr. Orly starts out by publishing a letter from a supporter. (Malware and redirect warning)

Under the following title:

""A letter from a supporter John Smith sent to a blogger and unemployed musician Dean Haskins, who calls himself Birther Summit(a blog, that has very few readers and low rating on the net)

Posted on | January 19, 2012 "

Goodness she sounds miffed.

"Mr Haskins:
Are you still heading the The Birther Summit? Your reply suggests otherwise. My letter was sent to you in your capacity as a high ranking official of an Organization that is supposed to deal with the eligibility issue. Your reply is a reaction of an angry man.
In any case, the issue here is not my activities, but yours (= your organization). Therefore, your letter is very disappointing. You still defend the headline of the grossly misleading ORYR posting, that they themselves corrected under pressure. And you still have to show what you (= your organization) have done over the past three years on the eligibility front (I am familiar with your Virginia project in Hawaii).
Why don’t you post on your website a list of all the major activities of your organization on the eligibility front so that we can clearly see your track record and compare it with Orly’s?
Sincerely,
John Smith
PS: You should activate the “Comment” facility on your postings."

I suspect her rant is coming…..

19 January - Well well well. Neither Carl Swensson or Kevin Powell seem to think their de Vattelist "two citizen parent" argument is strong enough. Because now they've filed a "Notice To Produce" which is pretty much the usual birther laundry list of demands.

(Original PDF here Notice it's hosted at the Super Duper Extra Crispy Article 2 PAC….)

(Scribd link here)

"Pursuant to OSAH Rule 616-1-2- . 19 , Defendant Barack Obama is hereby notified to be and appear before the Georgia Office of State Administrative Hearings, the Honorabl e Michael M. Malihi presiding , at the Fulton County Justice Center Building, 161 Pryor Street, Courtroom G-40 , Atlanta , Georgia on January 26, 2012 at 9 : 00 a .m. , and to bring with him into said Court the following items to be used as evidence by the Plaintiffs in the above-styled case"

The sheer disrespect shown the president here is mind numbing.

Remember what I've said of the birthers current cases smacking of "you better show us your papers, boy"???

This is flat out "you better DANCE when we tell you to dance, darkie".

And the demands?

a) One of two original certified copies of the long form.
b) "All medical , religious , administrative, or other records of or relating to Defendant Barack Obama' s birth"
c) All US passport and passport records.
d) All FOREIGN passport and passport records.
e) All college records.
f) All Illinois State Bar records.
g) "Any and all other documents , materials , and papers having any relation to the subject of the birthplace , citizenship , denizenship , and national origin of Defendant Barack Obama"
h) "Any and all documents , materials , and papers having any relation to the subject of the birthplace , citizenship , denizenship , and national origin of Defendant ' s father , Barack Obama , Sr ."
i) "All correspondence between Defendant 8arack Obama and any other person , firm , political party, or entity discussing Defendant ' s status del non as a natural born Citizen pursuant to Article II , Section I , Clause 5 of the United States Constitution ."

And just in case that wasn't insulting enough?

"Defendant will note that the preceding items are requested hereby, whether they pertain to Defendant under his name Barack Obama or any other name, including but not limited to Barack Hussein Obama II; Barry Soetoro ; Barry Soeharkah; Barry Obama, or the like."

Short form of this notice: "You betta bring ALL your papers, boy if you know what's good for you, and you DANCE darkie when we tell you to dance. Got that, n**ger???"

And bear this in mind - it was written by an attorney, one Mark Hatfield, who is a Republican member of the Georgia State Legislature.

20 January - Judge Malihi denies the request to quash the subpoenas.

(Scribd link here)

"ORDER ON MOTION TO QUASH SUBPOENAS Defendant, President Barack Obama, a candidate seeking the Democratic nomination for the office of the President of the United States, has filed a motion to quash the subpoena compelling his attendance at the hearing on January 26, 2012.

In support of his motion, Defendant argues that "if enforced, [the subpoena] requires him to interrupt duties as President of the United States" to attend a hearing in Atlanta, Georgia. However, Defendant fails to provide any legal authority to support his motion to quash the subpoena to attend. Defendant's motion suggests that no President should be compelled to attend a Court hearing. This may be correct. But Defendant has failed to enlighten the Court with any legal authority. Specifically, Defendant has failed to cite to any legal authority evidencing why his attendance is "unreasonable or oppressive, or that the testimony… [is] irrelevant, immaterial, or cumulative and unnecessary to a party's preparation or presentation at the hearing, or that basic fairness dictates that the subpoena should not be enforced." Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 616-1-2-.19(5)."

Translation - "Dude, if you want me to quash the subpoenas, then at least GIVE ME THE LEGAL reasons to!!"

"Defendant further alludes to a defect in service of the subpoena. However, the Court's rules provide for service of a subpoena upon a party, by serving the party's counsel of record. Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 616-1-2-.19(4). Thus, the argument regarding service is without merit.

Accordingly, Defendant's motion to quash is denied.

SO ORDERED, this the 20th day of January, 2012.
MICHAEL M. MALIHI, Judge"

Note to the defense counsel - Judges like it when you cite legal reasons why they should grant something.

Note to Dr. Orly - NOTICE THE JUDGE IS CALLING IT A HEARING!!!!! IT'S NOT A FREAKING TRIAL!!!

20 January - Not surprisingly, Dr. Orly claims victory (malware and redirect warning)

"I WON!!! I WON!!! I WON!!! JUDGE MALIHI RULED IN MY FAVOR. OBAMA’S MOTION TO QUASH MY SUBPOENA IS DENIED! HE HAS TO APPEAR AT TRIAL AND PRESENT ALL THE DOCUMENTS THAT I DEMANDED TO PRODUCE IN MY SUBPOENA!
Posted on | January 20, 2012"

IT'S NOT A TRIAL!! THE JUDGE HIMSELF CALLED IT A HEARING!!!!

And that's just the headline. The rest of it is a mix of immature gloating and a "I would like to thank the academy…." speech.

"Recently even people, who claimed to be on my side turned sides and viciously defamed me and attacked me. Among them were Arlen Williams, Dean Haskins, owner of a blog Birther Summit, Bob Nelson-owner of a blog Birther Report or ObamaReleaseYourRecords, Helen Tansey -owner of a blog art2superpac and even attorneys, who should’ve had some professional ethics. Attorneys Gary Kreep and Philip Berg filed insane pleadings, saying that I tried to hire a hit man to kill Lisa Liberi, legal assistant of attorney Berg and kidnap children of a web master Lisa Ostella. It has been 3 years of total nightmare, these people were like a pack of wild dogs attacking me and coming up with each and every accusation in the book. Now I am vindicated."

No, no you are not.

"My legal action is with merit. We are going to trial on January 26, 2012"

Merit hasn't be determined and it's a hearing, not a trial.

"Interesting, that two other attorneys are representing plaintiffs on similar matters: Van Irion and Mark Hatfield. They could have an opportunity to examine Obama with me, however either because I was maligned so badly or because they were scared to press the most explosive charges, these attorneys filed motions for their cases to be severed from my case."

Could she get any more immature???

"I feel extremely proud to be a part of this historic moment. I guess an American dream is still alive, as this subpoena was issued by an immigrant, who was raised in a communist dictatorship of the Soviet Union and came here with one suitcase with a couple of dresses, who had to study English, to study law at night, while working as a dentist and raising a family with 3 children. Only in America is this possible."

Awww, she left out the "married a millionaire software engineer" part……

20 January - Not wasting any time, Dr. Orly files a "Emergency Request for Letters Rogatory" to try and get the judge in Georgia to order the judge in Hawaii to force the Department of Health to cough up those vault copies.

(Scribd link here)

"Plaintiffs herein respectfully request letters rogatory and commission fromHonorable judge Malihi to Honorable judge Rhonda Nishimura if the First Circuit court of the state of HI to order director of Health Loretta Fuddy to appear at the January 26, 2012 hearing in Farrar v Obama and produce a book of birth records with the original birth certificate of Mr. Barack Obama, as well as corresponding microfiche film.

Notice she called it a HEARING. Wow. Almost as if she were, oh, I dunno, lying to her followers??

"Today this Honorable court denied a motion to quash subpoenas filed by the defendant. It is presumed the defendant will testify in court and will provide his alleged copy of his birth certificate. Due to affidavits provided b a number of experts, this alleged document is not valid. The only way to definitively ascertain the validity of a copy, is to examine the original."

Actually nope. All it requires is verification from the State of Hawaii Department of Health that the certificate is a valid copy, and that's all the court requires.

"The only way to obtain cooperation, is through a letter rogatory from this court to the circuit court in the state of Hawaii, requesting commission for the Plaintiff’s attorney Orly Taitz, which would extend the jurisdiction of the Administrative court of the state of GA to the state of HI."

Somehow I don't think the State of Hawaii would care much to have the State of Georgia interfering in their business.

20 January - Dean Haskins does another press release to point out that Dr. Orly is wrong, wrong, wrong.

"This is a follow-up to something I posted yesterday. Before making my observations, I want to make a guarantee. If it turns out that I was wrong in my previous statement, I will gladly state that I was wrong, and issue a full apology to Orly about my legal assessment (which is something I already know would never be a reciprocal agreement)."

Of course not. Dr. Orly doesn't have enough shame or class to apologize for anything.

"However, I am certainly not prepared to do that today, regardless of Orly's "I won!!! I won!!! I won!!!" foolishness. You see, unlike Orly, I am not going to look at a cow patty, and assume that because there is evidence of a cow somewhere, I get to serve ice cream to everybody right now. Let me rephrase that . . . SELL ice cream to everybody right now.

This is one of the issues I have already discussed—that everything from Orly seems to come with her own flavor of spin. And then, once the spin has been made, it is blindly believed by people (who just want so badly for it to be true), and it starts getting posted around the internet. Problem is, when it turns out that it wasn't entirely true, the only recourse Orly has is to scream "corruption!"

Pretty much so, yes.

"Here's what will probably happen: after Jablonski recovers from his blanket party, he will likely file an amended Motion to Quash; and it will probably be one of the most thorough Motions to Quash in the history of Motions to Quash, and Judge Malihi will probably grant that motion."

More than likely, and Jablonski really needs to be hauled up by his bootstraps and slapped silly for getting lazy.

Here's the thing about birthers. Give them a centimeter and they'll take ten kilometers. An attorney HAS to make sure all their "i's" are dotted and "t's" crossed. Otherwise they'll claim a victory that won't happen.

"In the unlikelihood that Judge Malihi does not grant his amended Motion to Quash, there is something that is virtually guaranteed to happen: Obama not showing up to an administrative law hearing in the state of Georgia. Jablonski would appear on his behalf, and present a certified "birth certificate" and proof of residency for the past 14 years. As the certified "birth certificate" will be considered self-verifying by the court, nothing Orly will say will sway it. "

Something else that Dr. Orly has been told repeatedly. However, Haskins is now running the risk of being cast out of the body and declared to no longer be one with Landru for saying the birther queen has no clothes.

" And remember, the end result of this hearing is a non-binding recommendation to the Secretary of State. So, no, Obama will not be handcuffed in Atlanta next week (he won't even be there)."

So much for that birther wet dream.

"As we have all come to expect, Orly continues to show the most debased levels of egomania, and still tries to attack others who have worked on this team as long as she has. She still has all the graciousness of a cactus loofah, and the attitude of a spoiled brat child (who is the only one who deserves your donations, and if you don't donate, you're an Obama operative)."

I never thought I would write these words…….

….but I actually kinda like and respect Dean Haskins right now. Oh, I totally disagree with him on the birther blather, but the sheer joy in reading the line "all the graciousness of a cactus loofah" makes me want to send him a thank you card and a dozen chocolate chip cookies.

NOTE: Posting today's dispatches should in no way, shape, or form be seen as supporting or defending SOPA or PIPA.

In today's dispatches, Jerome Corsi continues the World Nut Daily line of "what? How could you question the citizenship of Mitt Romney?? He's…….ummm…..more reflective! Thomas MacLeran continues both his calls for armed revolt AND his fear that Muslims are hiding in his closet.

Dr. Orly continues not only her jihad against her fellow birthers, but the State of Hawaii and anyone else who looks at her cross-eyed. She's hit her manic phase for her upcoming "no, it really IS a trial! Honest! No! Really it is!!!" hearing. Meanwhile, her "Adobe Illustrator" gets a bit violent.

Sorensen is not only told "no", but told "keep your nose clean or we'll collect damages and fees". President Obama has fun with Betty White AND the birthers. Sam Sewell reposts a Sovereign Citizen-style rant by KKK apologist Mark McGrew. And Nick Purpura is on the warpath against the Supreme Court.

16 January - Swiftboat liar Jerome Corsi continues the World Nut Daily party line of "how DARE you question the citizenship of white Republicans???"

"Judging by the Happersett decision and most interpretations of the eligibility clause, a president’s parents would only have to be citizens of the U.S. at the time of his or her birth, not natural-born citizens.

Therefore, even if George W. Romney’s birth in Mexico disqualified him from being a natural-born citizen, Mitt Romney could be a natural-born citizen, because his father was a citizen when his son was born.

Opponents of George W. Romney’s presidential candidacy in 1968 argued that his grandparents had renounced their U.S. citizenship when they went to Mexico, but there is no evidence for that. Nor was it considered necessary for George W. Romney to become naturalized to be a U.S. citizen after he was brought to the United States for the first time when he was 5 years old."

16 January - Thomas MacLeran once again shows his fear and hatred of Muslims.

"The English wit, Oscar Wilde, said “Everything in moderation, including moderation.” Funny guy, but he wouldn’t last too long in London these days because Muslims have no problem hanging homosexuals from the nearest streetlight, yet the American gay community overwhelmingly gave its support to Obama, an avowed Muslim, in the 2008 presidential election, and are again on his bandwagon in 2012."

Last time I checked, Obama was an avowed Christian. And I suspect that Thomas MacLeran would be just fine with the idea of hanging Gays from streetlights.

"There is absolutely no question as to the goal of Islam and, conversely, the stupidity of the American people. The fact that we have one Muslim within our borders should put the fear of God into each and every one of us."

"FRAN!! Did you check under the bed for Muslims?? What about the closet?? I'm sure they're here, somewhere, waiting……always waiting……..WAHHHHH MOMMY I'M SCARED!!!!"

16 January - In wake of Dr. Orly attacking Birther Summit and the Article II SuperDuperPAC, a couple of my readers noticed and brought to my attention that the "Birther Unity" press release Haskins put out on 11 July 2011 has been taken down. That was the one where he throw Philip Berg and Gary Kreep under the birther bus for the thoughtcrime of doubleplus ungood Orly badspeak.

The original URL was here.

It now comes back with a "404 - Article #9 not found" error.

The PDF is still there, as is a copy at Charles Kerchner's blog But the press release itself seems to have been scrubbed from Haskins' website.

Dr. Orly is still listed as a member, but I'm wondering how awkward it's going to get if her attacks on her fellow birthers gets any more strident.

16 January - The right-wing site "Actual Grit" publishes on 12 January a satirical piece claiming Obama's Chicago house was foreclosed on.

Guess who falls for it:

Gullible thy name is birther.

Oh look. Self-proclaimed "IT expert", "Adobe Illustrator" and Orly panty-sniffer Chito Papa makes an appearance too!

Gullible AND wanting someone to shoot the President. How charming.

17 January - Looks like Carl Manning is continuing to kiss Dr. Orly's rear. (malware and redirect warning)

"If Orly is successful in winning this case, even if the decision is eventually overturned by the Georgia Supreme Court, it will have already created a domino effect across the Union. It will force other States to take notice of legal precedent. This WILL be a BOMBSHELL on the MSM and in so-called “Conservative” (GOP Establishment Neocon) talk radio. Trump will be asked to comment on it, I’m sure, so that he can have his “I told you so” moment. We Birther Constitutionalists will have finally been vindicated. All of these pathetic traitorous bastards in our criminal federal government and in “Conservative” talk radio will have stinking rotten egg on their face trying to explain away their Establishment GOP party line of ignoring this extremely important Constitutional issue. Will the GOP Presidential candidates be forced to finally answer questions about this elephant in the room in their anything-but-”debates”??? The Democrats and the MSM will at first try to get away with scornful dismissiveness with their all-too-typical and trite racist tripe about us Southerners, but when other States take note, the avalanche will have already started. They will vilify this Judge as a racist in their desperation, but it will be to no avail. Expect to see Pelosi and Reid subpoenaed in the US Congress, which will have no choice but to investigate the Crime of the Millennium when the States take the mask off of the District of Criminals."

Any…….Day……..Now.

17 January - And Sorensen's version of the Alabama Birther Ballot jihad is shot down.

"After a short hearing this morning, Circuit Judge Helen Shores Lee again ruled that the courts have no authority to dictate who can and cannot be included on ballots in the party-run primaries. She dismissed the suit filed last week by Harold Sorensen of Luverne.

The day Sorensen filed his suit, Lee dismissed a similar lawsuit brought by Birmingham resident Albert E. Hendershot. A judge in St. Clair County last week also dismissed a related suit brought by a Pell City man.

The suits contended Obama is using a forged birth certificate and fake social security number. They say he is not a natural-born citizen and is not qualified to run and serve as president."

17 January - Looks like, once again, President Obama decides to have some fun with the birthers.

"During Betty White‘s birthday celebration Monday night on NBC, the 90-year old actress received a special surprise video message from President Barack Obama. The President, seated at his desk, read aloud a letter he was composing to the Golden Girls star:

Dear Betty, You look so fantastic and full of energy, I can’t believe you’re 90 years old. In fact, I don’t believe it. That’s why I’m writing to ask if you will produce a copy of your long-form birth certificate. Thanks, and happy birthday, no matter how old you are.

He then placed a framed picture of White behind his desk in the Oval Office, and popped in headphones, bobbing his head to the Golden Girls theme song, “Thank You For Being A Friend.”

17 January - Updated news story about Sorensen from the Birmingham News.

"The Jefferson County judge who dismissed a Luverne man's lawsuit to block President Obama from Alabama ballots today also ordered him to pay the state Democratic Party's court costs and lawyer fees within 45 days.

Lawyers for Mark Kennedy, the state party chairman, sought the sanctions in a motion his lawyers filed last week filed last week in the suit filed by Harold Sorensen. But one of the lawyers said during a hearing today that party officials would not try to collect if Sorensen does not file any similar lawsuits during the 2012 election cycle.

"The Democratic Party has no desire to chase after a retired military man to collect," Barry Ragsdale, one of Kennedy's lawyers, told Circuit Judge Helen Shores Lee.

Ragsdale then turned to address Sorensen. "But if I read you're bad-mouthing the court and this decision, you will feel the full wrath of me."

Sorensen told Lee he cannot afford to pay the court-ordered costs."

Sorensen sounds pretty beaten down.

"Sorensen, who sought to have his case dismissed before Tuesday's hearing, said he was trying to exercise his rights and duties as a citizen.

"I just want to go back home and go to bed," Sorensen told Lee. "I'm done.""

Since Sorensen has written at the Pest and eFail before, it's uncertain if he can manage to keep his nose clean.

17 January - Sam Sewell reposts an article by Pravda Online writer and Ku Klux Klan apologist Mark S. McGrew.

"Americans are not revolting against the Federal government and we are not planning a revolution against the Federal Government of The United States of America.

The Federal government revolted against us."

Right, sure, of course. Whatever excuse you want to use to try and excuse your little seditionist fantasies…..

"They are the ones constantly violating our Constitution, from the street punk who calls himself President, right on down to local government employees."

Racist much??

"There are cops on permanent duty in schools, arresting kids on criminal charges, for things as non-threatening as using perfume in class or farting in class. Rather than call the parents for a misbehaving child in a school for problem children, they arrest them, mace them, taser them and even shoot them."

He's referring to a pretty scary article about this taking place in Texas. I'm not sure why Obama is to blame for this considering it's a red state, and the people backing and supporting this are Republicans, but……

"How do we stop this ongoing revolution? How do we stop these people who are committing a violent overthrow of our government?

As in France during World War II, there is in fact an American Resistance and an American Underground. We are everywhere. We have more people and we have more guns than do the traitors. Does anyone think that they are not afraid of us?"

Oh look. A gun nut with treason on his mind. *rolls eyes*

Dude, you're giving all of us gun owners a bad name, stop it!

"Then why else do they secretly hurry through a Federal law to pick up and imprison any American citizen without charges, without trial, without legal counsel, without evidence and put them under military dominance in a secret location?"

You mean the one passed by a Republican House of Representatives and presented to the President as a "poison pill"??

"Why else would they be trying to pass another Federal law that strips the citizenship away from anyone who opposes their ongoing criminal behavior?"

Thank you Sen. Liberman (Independent)

"We the People created something to protect us against a Federal government gone wild.

That something is called a County Sheriff. A County Sheriff can tell Federal agents to get out of town before sun down. A Sheriff can tell armed Federal agents to leave their guns at the saloon. A Sheriff can arrest Federal agents and the only thing that agent can do is shut up or draw his pistol.

That is just the way it is.

Federal employees are just beginning to learn that little inconvenient truth of American life."

Ah yes, the myth that the "Sovereign Citizens" like to claim, that a sheriff is somehow the ultimate law enforcement officer in the nation.

"The Federal government has to be taught that their charade is over. Their Alice in Wonderland lifestyle is not going to continue forever. In their drug addled brains, they think it will. Let them think that. I'm sure Hitler was a bit surprised too, when we came for him. We know Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi were more than a little surprised. I guess these gangsters will be too."

That sounds rather threaty……

"We the People have to stand with these Sheriffs. We need to stand with them physically, as armed volunteer deputies. Let the Feds fire the first shots. Let them show the World what they really are: An out of control gangster government. And to the World, I will say quite clearly, "If they will do it to us, they will do it to you".

Oh look, it's sedition!

17 January - Not surprisingly, the undomesticated primates at birther report are a bit annoyed at the ruling in Sorensen v Kennedy.

"Ragsdale said Sorensen's suit in Jefferson County is the second one he has filed challenging Obama's citizenship and right to serve as president. A Montgomery County judge in 2009 dismissed the other Sorenson suit, which also challenged then-Republican nominee John McCain's citizenship.

"This needs to stop, Mr. Sorensen, and it needs to stop today," Ragsdale said during the hearing.

Ragsdale also criticized a request Sorensen filed last week asking Lee to step aside from his case. The motion, which Sorensen filed without counsel, cited "racial bias, lack of judicial discretion as well as lack of knowledge of the U.S. Constitution, Article II, Section 1, Clause 5," court records show.

"This is scandalous," Ragsdale said to Sorensen during today's hearing. "It's uncalled for and you owe this court an apology."

Sorensen apologized. He told Lee he did not seek a new judge because of the black judge's race. "

Funny, that's not what you told all the various birther blogs.....

"Anonymous said…[Reply] Unfreaking believable! Helen Shores Lee strikes again. I guess Alabama is shit out of luck when it comes to unconstitutional candidates being on the ballot. I guess we'll have to have our own "court". Not a problem. January 17, 2012 6:52 PM"

Talk to James Manning. I'm sure he'll be willing to run another invalid "trial of the century".

17 January - Dr. Orly has a tantrum because she sent something from her malware and virus-infested computer to the Hawaii Attorney General's office. Who objects to her sending them virus and malware infested computer files and tells her to resubmit via mail or fax. Which makes Dr. Orly run to her malware and redirect infested blog to whine about it. (Malware and redirect warning)

"CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS BS? I’M E-MAILING THE SUBPOENA YET AGAIN. NOW NAGAMINE IS SAYING THAT SHE REFUSES TO OPEN MY E-MAILS, BECAUSE SHE CLAIMS, SHE GOT A COMPUTER VIRUS AND SHE CLAIMS IT WAS FROM MY E-MAIL. WHAT’S NEXT?
Posted on | January 17, 2012 "

So Jill Nagamine tells Dr. Orly that she won't accept any further emails from her and to fax or mail further filings. And Dr. Orly's response is to SEND HER ANOTHER EMAIL.

"Dear Ms. Taitz:
I am in receipt of two emails that you sent me on Saturday morning. The first is entitled “subpoena” and is dated 01/15/2012 at 3:11a.m. Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time (HST). The second is entitled”subpoena, I am not sure the attachment went through before, resubmitting it” and is dated 01/15/2012 at 3:17 a.m. HST. The second has an attachment.

This is to inform you that I do not plan to open these or any future emails or attachments that you send me, because my computer was adversely infected with either a virus or malware after I opened your emails on January10-11, 2012. Until then our department’s protection programs had dealt successfully with viruses and malware from other sources, and I had not received or opened any e-mails or attachments from you. So althoughI currently have no specific proof that this problem was transmitted with your e-mails, the conclusion that it was is a reasonable one. Therefore,to avoid future problems I plan to delete all future emails from you without opening them.
If you have anything to serve me, please follow the applicable court rules to do so properly. If you have anything that you would like to bring to my attention quickly, please send your request via facsimile to (redacted) during my office’s regular business hours. Please be advised that I do not agree to waive any notice or service requirements to whichI am entitled.
Jill T. Nagamine
Deputy Attorney General
State of Hawaii
Email correspond​ence"

Let's see. Very professional and telling Dr. Orly alternative routes to use. So of course Dr. Orly will ignore it.

17 January - We now have a certified transcript of Dr. Orly's 13 January hearing.

(Scribd link here)

Note all the times Dr. Orly was told to slow down.

"THE COURT: MS. Taitz, just to advise or apprise you that the Court did allow you to read off your laptop, I'm not sure if it's your laptop, your entire argument. And I believe Ms. Nagamine neither objected nor interrupted you. So I do request the same courtesy. You can reply to her opposition.

MS. TAITZ: I'm sorry, Your Honor. In other courts they allow objections.

THE COURT: I know. But you noticed, Ms. Nagamine neither objected nor interrupted you."

What a rude, snotty, arrogant piece of work Dr. Orly is.

17 January - And we have a video of Dr. Orly's 13 January hearing.

Amazing. Even with a video shot by one of her supporters, Dr. Orly comes across as a dolt.

17 January - Nick Purpura has a tantrum over the Supreme Court rejecting his tea party / birther lawsuit.

"Purpura has written a brief titled “Motion for Expedite [sic] Reargument” which he told The Post & Email has been received by the court today. He states that in it, he “rips the government apart.” The 29-page submission tells the justices that “You have failed us and betrayed our country by abandoning our law.”

Oh, I'm sure that will go over well.

“The second item is: the word I’m getting out of Washington, because I know people there, is they’re shirking their responsibility on Obama’s eligibility is that they’re afraid there might be riots if the Supreme Court says that he’s ineligible. Well, excuse me, so then we’ll drop every law because someone might riot! This is an outrage. They’re disenfranchising all communities. There is no race, religion or nationality here. This is a country based on the rule of law, and they’re turning a blind eye to justice.

“If Justia.com was caught red-handed scrubbing 25 cases which solidify the fact that Obama is not the President of the United States under our laws of ‘natural born Citizen,’ the federal courts, which are spineless, have ignored this issue out of fear. "

Ah yes. Birther talking points and disproven lies. They really don't have anything else anymore, do they?

17 January - And more de Vattelists going after Mitt Romney.

"It would seem obvious that Mitt Romney is a U.S. citizen (not so obvious with the current resident of the White House, I realize), but the question remains, were both of Mitt Romney’s parents U.S. citizens at the time of his birth, and if so, where is the un-tampered evidence of their citizenship? Did they have U.S. passports? If so, what established their U.S. citizenship? Neither the GOP, nor Mitt Romney, as far as I know, has ever addressed the subject of his natural born citizenship publicly, and I don’t believe the question has ever been tested in the courts. So, what’s the answer, and why is there a question?

I hope there are really simple, easily verifiable answers to my few questions."

Yes there is. However, like most birthers, I doubt you'll believe or accept any of them.

17 January - Hypocrisy, thy name is Dr. Orly. (malware and redirect warning)

"The enslavement of the US citizens continues in Alabma. A judge in Birmingham Alabama, judge Lee, dismissed a second law suit challenging usurper Obama, claiming “no jurisdiction”. First case in AL was filed by Al Hendershott. Al called me only a few days before the Democrat party of AL filed a motion to show cause, why the law suit should not be dismissed. I told Al, that we have little time and I need pro had vice, a right for an out of state attorney to appear before the court. I submitted the application, but Judge Lee never even responded. Al requested extension of time to bring an out of state attorney, however the judge denied his request for additional time and rushed to dismiss his case. I told Al, that it is clear this judge is hostile."

Actually you said the Judge might be biased against you because she was African-American, and the defense attorney said he would dispute your PHV request because of your past history.

"If it would have been a black person, claiming violation of his civil rights, this judge would be screaming bloody murder, she would be forwarding the information to the department of Justice. ACLU and Eric Holder and Obama would have been right there standing vigil and media would have been swarming the place, but a white man, bringing evidence of fraud in the White House was not important enough to this judge, who happens to be black, to give him even a few days extension of time to bring an attorney and respond to the Democrat party motion."

Racist much Dr. Orly??

"Instead, she dismissed the case, did not forward the information of elections fraud to DA and AG, she became complicit of misprision of felony and embarrassed Mr. Sorenson, told him, that he has to apologize to corrupt and lying accomplice of Obama, chairman of Alabama Democratic party, who placed a usurper with a forged birth certificate and a stolen social security number on the ballot, she threatened this senior citizen and a veteran, that if he does not promise not to bring another case against Obama and does not apologize to these criminals, she will throw the book at him and will assess him costs of their time used to defend this fraud and forgery. "

"Wahhh! The courts are being MEAN to us, wahhh!"

"You can hand carry a criminal complaint to the county and federal grand juries and demand criminal indictments of corrupt officials and of Obama. One runaway grand jury, indicting Obama of uttering forged documents and elections fraud can make a difference."

Yeah, just look at the difference the Fantasy Tiddlywinks League made with all their "grand juries". Oh, wait……

"James A Davis SR
January 18th, 2012 @ 6:30 am
Mrs Taitz i am from Alabama about 30 miles east of Birmingham.I hope in making this statement no one will think i am a racist.Birmingham is control completely by blacks.Judges like Lee and shores are black and very liberal.It is highly unlikely you will ever get to bring a case up in Birmingham.As i said it is very liberal there."

Funny, you sure sound like a racist to me.

"RNC
January 18th, 2012 @ 6:57 am
You can’t expect any different from a black judge. Why bring this case in a black jurisdiction anyway? Reminds me of that video of Pastor Manning on Youtube titled: HER NAME IS MRS. ANN”. Listen to it. Don’t let the first couple minutes bore you. You will laugh your tail off and learn something. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuEc-nFULY8"

Geee, I can't imagine why people would think the birthers were racist…..

18 January - Transcript of the hearing in Sorensen v Kennedy.

(Scribd link here)

18 January - Dr. Orly drags lawbreaker Linda Jordan into her jihad against Birther Report. (malware and redirect warning)

"LETTER SENT BY WITNESS LINDA JORDAN TO BOB NELSON, OWNER OF BLOG ORYR (OBAMARELEASEYOURRECORDS) WHO DEFAMED ME BY CLAIMING, THAT I LIED AND THAT I SOMEHOW ILLEGALLY ISSUED SUBPONAES BEFORE TRIAL. HE STILL DID NOT CORRECT HIS SITE. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR TRUTH, YOU CAN’T RELY ON ORYR
Posted on | January 18, 2012 "

Well, you certainly can't rely on ORLY either.

18 January - Oh dear. Dr. Orly is throwing a cow because Obama's attorney has filed a motion to quash her illegitimate subpoenas. (malware and redirect warning)

"I don’t have an opposition yet. However, I am posting below my reply to opposition to reciprocal subpoena enforcement, which I was forced to write at night before 01.13.2012 hearing in Hi, when I was ambushed by Nagamine with the opposition to subpoena enforcement in HI, which I got only at 11 pm at night before the hearing in the morning. that was the reason, I had to read from my laptop, I did not even have an opportunity to print it out. "

Oh, and she wants money.

"I, also wanted to thank people, who are donating for this hearing. I just got an e-mail from my credit card, saying that I maxed out with over $8,500 in charges as I had to pay for airfare, hotel accommodations for a lot of people, I am paying another attorney to help me, so donations are appreciated"

18 January - As for the motion in question to quash the subpoenas?

(Scribd link to clean copy here)

"The extensive, although patently unfounded, criticisms of the documents by plaintiff's attorney evidence possession. The remaining documents sought by plaintiffs are irrelevant and immaterial as the birth certificates made available to the public prove citizenship. Plaintiff‟s attorney not only seeks documents that she has already seen and that she has been using, but continues to ask for them to further her political agenda. She has been sanctioned previously by a federal court in Georgia for pursuing this strategy by filing frivolous pleadings. See, Rhodes v. McDonald, 670 F. Supp. 2d 1363 (MD Ga. 2009)."

OUCH!!

"Plaintiff attempts to use the subpoenas to conduct discovery even though they may only be used within the borders of Georgia to compel attendance and production of documents at hearings or at depositions, if depositions are allowed in a case. Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 616-1-2-.19(1)(“Subpoenas may be issued which require the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production of objects or documents at depositions or hearings….”)"

And HOW many times has she been told this??

"A large number of baseless legal actions, ignoring the determination by the presidential electors and by Congress that President Barack Obama meets all Constitutional requirements for the office of the President, have been filed, many of which have been initiated by Plaintiff‟s attorney in this case."

*chuckle*

"OSAH has been previously supplied with citations to the sixty-eight cases that have been concluded."

It's actually in the 90's now.

"Challengers have not succeeded a single instance, and they have been sanctioned many times."

Yeah, they have a pretty amazing record. Not one single win.

"Plaintiff‟s “amended complaint” evidenced a complete disregard for orderly proceedings and the rule of law: it included new parties that do not meet eligibility requirements specified by the legislature; it sought criminal and injunctive relief beyond the power of either OSAH or the Secretary of State to grant; it raised issues beyond the one in the Secretary of State reference to OSAH. Plaintiff‟s counsel continues to file documents and make requests ignoring rules requiring the filing of motions, despite admonishment by OSAH staff."

In other words, it's a typical Dr. Orly filing.

"In the last several days, plaintiff‟s attorney sent subpoenas seeking to force attendance by an office machine salesman in Seattle; seeking to force the United States Attorney to bring an unnamed “Custodian of Records Department of Homeland Security” to attend the hearing with immunization records for “Barack(Barry)(Bari)Hussein(A)Obama;” and another asking the same U.S. Attorney to bring the same records allegedly possessed by “Custodian of Records of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.”

And that's not all.

"She served subpoenas attempting to compel the production of documents and the attendance of Susan Daniels and John Daniels, both apparently out of state witnesses, regarding Social Security records. Immigration, nationalization,
and Social Security records are not relevant to this proceeding because nothing in the Constitution makes familial immigration status nor participation in Social Security a prerequisite to serving as president."

She's been like a kid in the candy store with those pre-signed subpoena forms, hasn't she??

"Upon information and belief, based upon the plaintiff attorney‟s website, it appears that plaintiff is trying to force the Director of Health for the State of Hawaii to bring to Atlanta the “original typewritten 1961 birth certificate #10641 for Barack Obama, II, issued 08.08.1961 by Dr. David Sinclair….” Plaintiff‟s attorney attempts to misuse a Georgia OSAH subpoena to gain access to records that she knows she cannot access under Hawaii law. A Hawaii court dismissed with prejudice the last attempt to force release of confidential records on November 9, 2011. Taitz v. Fuddy, CA No. 11-1-1731-08 RAN."

She doesn't like being told "no", does she??

It would be nice if the judge would issue an Order to Show Cause as to why she shouldn't be sanctioned for her misuse of those forms.

"Plaintiff‟s attorney violates two rules of practice with these subpoenas. First, they must be served within the State of Georgia. Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 616-1-2-.19(5) (“A subpoena may be served at any place within Georgia….”). The sovereignty of the State of Georgia does not extend beyond the limits of the State. OCGA 50-2-20. The attempted use of these subpoenas to obtain documents from Hawaii and State of Washington is improper. Subpoenas issued by Georgia courts do not have extraterritorial power."

Something she's been told REPEATEDLY.

"Second, plaintiff‟s attorney improperly changes the terms of the subpoena by adding “and a certified copy to be forwarded within 5 days of service to the Plaintiff‟s attorney at Law Offices of Orly Taitz….” The rules governing the use of subpoenas do not contemplate obtaining certified copies before the hearing. The regulations state that subpoenas may be used to compel attendance and production of documents at hearings or at depositions, if depositions are allowed in a case. Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 616-1-2-.19(1)(“Subpoenas may be issued which require the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production of objects or documents at depositions or hearings….”). The manipulation of the document evidences a conscious attempt to use the authority of this agency acquire documents that the attorney would otherwise be unable to obtain, especially since discovery is not allowed. Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 616-1-2-.38 (“Discovery shall not be available in any proceeding….”)."

Dr. Orly?? Lie and do something completely unethical?? Only on days ending in a "y".

"C. Plaintiff's attorney has a history of abusing her privilege to practice law."

You think??

You know, the snark is nice and everything, but it would have been nice if the attorney in question actually cited case law to back the snark up?? Otherwise this is legally pretty weak sauce IMHO.

18 January - Birther Report responds to Obama's attorney's motion to quash the subpoenas.

"Obama's Georgia attorney filed a motion to quash the Georgia subpoenas in the Farrar, et. al. v Obama ballot access challenge. Although we disagree 100 percent with Michael Jablonski(Obama atty) on his political arguments, the legal argument with respect to the administrative subpoenas having only limited powers and only within the State of Georgia is correct. "

As anyone with a functioning brain stem figured out a while back.

"We want nothing more than to have witnesses put on the record detailing Obama's many discrepancies but the proper court procedures and rules must be followed to attain that. Obama should have to be there though. That is HIS hearing."

Translation - "You better show us your papers, BOY!"

18 January - Oh look. Thomas MacLeran is once again banging the drums of sedition and armed rebellion.

"The chasm between those who are pro-American and those who are anti-American is becoming more obvious as time goes on. The sedition, the mutiny and the trashing of the Constitution are a done deal"

Yes, with the "anti-American" people being the ones who keep trying to rewrite the Constitution, keep calling for military coups and armed revolt, and want to throw out their fellow citizens because they don't like their religion or race.

"It is up to the citizens of the United States to redefine the word “terrorist” to fit the truth, and not the Big Lie that is being spewed by the very agencies that are guilty of that which they accuse others of doing.

There are millions more of us Patriots than there are traitors who control the government, and count me in as supporting our Constitution. It is just a matter of time before an ill wind blows across our land, but the end result will be a well-needed cleansing of those who have little, or no, appreciation of “secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.” I personally say “Good riddance.” What say you?"

I think you're a cowardly and seditionist nitwit, and I refuse to allow people like Thomas MacLeran to steal my country or trash our Constitution.

We also have run on sentences from David LaRocque. Birther fantasies. Joseph Farah throwing a tantrum that the de Vattelists are also daring to question white Republicans too.

Miki Booth blames Obama for the poor sales of her book, while thinking death threats against Obama are just fine. Dr. Orly brings an all-loser birther case to her "no, it's really a trial, honest, ignore what the judge calls it" event. Turns out Carl Swensson gave an interview to a blog with an unsavory reputation. And Lawrence Sellin wants the birtherstani to punish the GOP.

8 January - Over at Greg Goss's blog, a single sentance from birther David LaRocque.

"When we have an ineligible president, an unconstitutional monetary system, unconstitutional czars, unresponsive elected representatives, a thoroughly corrupt federal court system, undeclared wars in violation of the Constitution, an unconstitutional tax system, numerous federal agencies and departments that undertake roles far exceeding the limitations of the Constitution, serious and growing abridgment of specific constitutional rights originating from our Creator and guaranteed by the Constitution, unconstitutional infringement of the rights and prerogatives of the states on a massive scale, unconstitutional land grabs by an out-of-control federal government, outrageous abuses of governmental powers in a wide variety of areas (including the infamous TSA operation, the EPA, the IRS, the DHS, the ATF, the DEA, the CIA, the FBI, the Forest Service, the Fish and Wildlife Service as examples), a socialist welfare scheme that is both unconstitutional and is bankrupting the country, no federal budget for three years running, a “First Lady” who desires to be addressed as “Your Excellency” and has a personal staff paid for by the taxpayers as large as some small agencies, an administration overrun with individuals committed by their Marxist political philosophy to the overthrow of the Constitution and the rule of law, a so-called “Congressional Research Service” which manufactures lies intended to deceive the American people, a Department of Justice that is so corrupt that it defies comprehension and acts as if it is above the law, a corrupt Congress whose members openly exploit their positions of trust for personal financial and political gain, a Supreme Court with members who brazenly defy the obligation of recuse in the face of outrageous conflicts of interest, a Speaker of the House who proclaims that a bill must be passed before we can find out what is in it, unconstitutional “government sponsored enterprises” (including FNMA and Freddie Mac) which have incurred huge losses arising from politically-motivated policies and which losses were borne by the taxpayers while virtually destroying large sectors of the national economy, the passage of a plainly unconstitutional health care bill which will almost certainly destroy what is left of the economic vitality of the nation and insure the descent of the nation into a fiscal abyss from which there can be no recovery, election fraud on a massive scale, and on and on – well we just don’t have much of a Constitution left, in my opinion."

David LaRocque really needs to take a deep breath and then look at some mental health clinics.

10 January - Dope springs eternal.

"Pre-trial evidence released in GA: Obama using stolen SSN; passport & birth certificate show Indonesia birth; his selective service is a forgery; e-verify fails; Trial just moved up to TOMORROW, Hawaii officials in transit ."

And

"Democrats. Don't read this without taking lots of drugs. The GA citizenship trial was just moved up to JAN 13th, and Hawaii officials in transit. Here is list of evidence that will be used. If Obama loses, then not only will he be ineligible for electoral votes in Georgia, but no doubt this will go to the SCOTUS immediately and Biden may be sworn in."

And

"If Obama can't prove he was born in Hawaii, then election is invalidated. At least in state level, that means prior election stays in force. Bush had 2 terms … Cheney is president. Or argument can also be made for John Boehner. But not Biden.

This time either is birth certificate & microfiche records are examined (if they exist), or he is off the ballot in 2012 in GA, and then the snowball will spread to other states & past elections. It IS in a hearing now in GA, so burden is on Obama to supply originals for Judge to verify. No more technicalities."

"…to dream, the impossible dream…."

13 January - Joseph Farah doesn't seem to like it much then the de Vattelist birthers apply their misreading of the Constitution on white Republicans.

"How do these things get started?

No wonder people are so confused about the issues of the day.

I am literally deluged with emails from Americans insisting that Mitt Romney is not constitutionally eligible to be president."

How do these things get started?? Well, it's egged along by so-called media sources spending three years questioning official birth certificates, promoting conspiracy myths about forgeries, and giving space and media time to those who claim that "natural born" means "two US citizen parents".

You want to know how these things gets started Farah?

Look in a mirror.

"Furthermore, while I remain a strong advocate of the position that Obama is not eligible for a variety of reasons, I have never made this assertion based on the fact that I detest everything for which he stands. That assertion is based on fact, on reality, on verifiable truth."

Except that neither Farah or any other birther has ever provided any facts, reality, or verifiable truth to back up any of their claims.

"The Constitution doesn’t require the parents of a presidential candidate to have been born in America. It simply requires that candidates be “natural born citizens” themselves. The scholarly interpretation of that requirement is that the parents of the candidate must have been citizens of the U.S. before the birth of the offspring."

You may want to check with your fellow birthers, since they've been claiming the "two parent rule" for a long time now.

"I have made the case that Marco Rubio, a U.S. senator and vice-presidential possibility whom I genuinely respect and admire, is not eligible for the job. The reason? His parents were not U.S. citizens when he was born. That’s the criteria. He doesn’t meet it."

I suspect has more to do with the fact he's latino……

13 January - Begin, the second birtherstani civil war has. (Malware and redirect warning)

"As I wrote, corrupt attorney general of Hawaii, Jill Nagamine demanded that judge order me to pay costs of the state for defending their forged birth certificate and declare me a vexatious plaintiff, preventing me from bringing more actions in HI."

You can has sanctions now yes, please?

"Bob Nelson, blogger going under the name Obama Release your records or Birther report wrote, that Nishimura “Hawaii moves with sanctions, banning further law suits”. Hawaii did not rule that. It is very easy for someone to sit at home and criticize, hiding behind a made up name ORYR. It is much harder to be on the front line work 24/7/365, risk sanctions, pay expenses. If the guy hiding behind ORYR can do better job, he should do it. "

Ah birthers eating their own….

"So far I am the only one, who is bringing to corrupt officials and courts the most explosive evidence and risk money, license, health and my life. Every time I go somewhere, I tell my children how much I love them, so if something happens to me, it would be the last thing they would remember. "

Drama queen much??

Unless it's the other kind of layer, in which case I hope she's cleaning off the Dental Chair o' Luv afterwards.

14 January - Dr. Orly gets in a snit fit towards Birther Report for daring to point out the threat of sanctions against her in Hawaii. (malware and redirect warning)

And she manages to out the two people running Birther Report to boot!

(Information redacted by me)

"I got an e mail from a guy by name Thomas Washington from (redacted). He claims that Bob Nelson is one of the people preparing birther report and he is another. He claims that they did not defame me. Here is the quote posted by this Bob Nelson and Thomas Washington and whatever else and whoever else works with them: "

What did they say that got Dr. Orly's panties in a twist?

“Attorney Orly Taitz was denied by the judge in Hawaii today regarding subpoena enforcement. The state of Hawaii will move forward in sanctioning atty. Taitz and labeling her a vexatious litigant banning her from filing future cases in Hawaii unless she motions for leave of Court first. The obfuscations continue…..”

And Dr. Orly's well-reasoned, mature response?

"are you a complete idiot?
How can you write that the state of HI will move forward in sanctioning her? The judge needs to issue an order. The Deputy Attorney General Nagamine (who is married to Obama’s family personal attorney and who is complicite in cover up of this forgery ) can ask for it, but it is up to the judge.
You need to be either a complete idiot not to understand it or you have to be working for the other side in order to destroy the only attorney, who brings the most explosive evidence, and you are doing it 2 weeks before the trial "

Thinks pretty highly of herself, eh??

And in comments:

"Redd
January 14th, 2012 @ 8:17 am
Totally correct Orly! The headline at oryr…”Hawaii moves forward with sanctions [sounds like they have the ability to sanction, but it is the judge]…and banning Taitz from filing future cases”. This is totally MISLEADING and now oryr has posted some crap to try to defend the headline. It comes across as a vendetta against you rather than in support of you."

"Bloodless Coup January 14th, 2012 @ 9:41 am I am beginning to suspect that the Birther Report Blog has been infiltrated or corrupted by Obots. In any case, they certainly seem to have it in for you."

Ah, birthers eating their own…..

14 January - Miki Booth is having problems selling her anti-Obama book.

"Miki Booth
Guys, please use the message venue to message me instead of posting on my site. I was hoping the Foreword of my book would gain more attention than just a few "likes." I could use the pre-sales to help me finance my trip to CPAC. Contrary to what people might think about my book project, I've invested $10,000 of borrowed and personal money. My break even point is 300 books and I've only sold less than 50 advance orders."

Oh shucky darn??

"I only sold 2 books to raise funds for Orly. I just PayPal'd her $40. Thanks for understanding."

"Times are hard for everyone. That rat bastard BO/BS is to blame.

Wow. So Obama is to blame that her vanity press book that repeats lies and hatred about Obama isn't exactly raking in the money.

14 January - Birther Report strikes back

"Birther Report has given your cases positive coverage and has posted your case updates in a positive light more than any other eligibility blog and news site on the Internet. Only one critical but valid open letter about your efforts and tactics was ever publicized here. Your attacks are wrong and unfounded."

Yeah, well your first mistake was thinking Dr. Orly handles criticism anything even remotely like a mature adult.

"You also say, “I am the only one, who is bringing to corrupt officials and courts the most explosive evidence and risk money, license, health and my life.”

No you’re not, you are just the only one that gets the media coverage. Birther Report has reported on many of the other court cases that are not related to you, from state to federal cases to FOIA requests.

Much of the “most explosive evidence” has been provided by and researched by numerous different people from across the Country. Not just you. It is them and the plaintiffs that should be given the most thanks and praise. They too have put their necks on the line. Birther Report has not personally attacked or slandered any eligibility plaintiffs, lawyers, researchers, or bloggers. It has been you on your blog and in email threads that has openly attacked and called out various different patriots that have also been battling this issue in the trenches and on the front lines."

Translation - "It's not JUST about you, bitch!!"

"You should be supporting any and all legal efforts, large or small, to get the word out about Obama's ineligibility, whether it is private citizens or other like-minded organizations."

Yeah, good luck with that, skippy.

"Birther Report will try an continue providing the latest updates and news regarding the eligibility issue. No matter the attorney or plaintiff involved. "

And Bad Fiction will be there pointing and laughing the entire time.

"Birther Report will not be deterred or silenced by the same tactics the Obots use against the Constitutionalists."

Actually it's the same tactics the birthers always use against anyone who dares to point out they're full of crap, but minor details….

Needless to say, the comments are mixed. With some birthers going "well DUH, of course Dr. Orly is a nitwit!!"

Well written and documented.

Orly seems to be using an Alinsky style attack on BR/ORYR, which is to attack the source of the information versus the actual idea presented by the source.

Orly seems to be driven more by emotions than actual hard cold facts, which actually would have benefited her cases.

Thanks for your work Orly. Now please step aside and let others work on the facts.

If Orly keeps going the way she is going I believe it will be more of a detriment than benefit.

Well said. This is exactly what I think as well. This site is allowing personal evil satanic attacks on Great Patriot's and Great Saints of GOD here by Satan's evil people.

The Great Saint Of GOD, Orly, is being attacked by Satan's evil servants here, and the blog owner's keep posting their evil insane lunatic diatribes and rants against The Great Saint Dr. Orly's COMPLETELY VIRTUOUS AND GREAT WORKS OF LOVE AND VIRTUES AND HOLINESS & WISDOM & TRUTH.

Vile owner's of this blog, why in God's Holy Name are you allowing these pure evil kinds of attacks & comments on other's & on Orly to get out of "moderation" and be posted about other people here, when YOU YOURSELVES claim that YOU YOURSELVES use "moderation" to stop Obot
comments who want to post evil satanic attacks & rage against YOU from being posted here to protect yourselves from their insane raging & evil lying horrible satanic, evil, & vile attacks?!

ORYR why are you people allowing evil & insane twisted hate crimes in comments that go beyond mere hysterical evil obot rants to be posted here by insane obots and criminals who want to defeat We The People and the birther cause & the Great Saint Dr. Orly?

Why do you want to allow people who are evil & who hate of truth, wisdom, virtues, decency, and goodness to post here?

I have noticed one thing about ALL of the evil comments that the obvious lunatic & insanely evil Obots post ad nauseum in their evil Obots remarks about Dr. Orly....they all seem to be written by only 2-4 people in the universe.... who keep posting the same... evil lies & evil & insane drivel......

I would place a bet on this idea, and I bet I'm correct: 100% of the evil comments that attack Orly on this site are written by evil & insane lunatic obots, and by the same people who I think are the attempted extortioner's & the convicted fogerer & felon Lisa Liberi, and by the criminal Lisa Ostella and Philip Berg, Esq. and possibly Kreep, Esq. & by evil paid obots like foggy who are making it their evil & insane duty in life to post these insane evil attacks & diatribes against Dr. Orly because these evil liars and evil criminals love to do their evil crimes and speak their evil lies on earth THAT THEY THRIVE ON.

THESE EVIL OBOTS & EVIL CRIMINALS/EVIL SINNERS & LIARS THEY LOVE TO SPREAD THEIR EVIL CRIMES & EVIL LIES & THE EVIL MANURE OF THEIR LIVES all around to seriously destroy this planet & this blog!! People can see WHO they are. They will only be around a little while polluting this earth.

January 15, 2012 4:51 PM"

14 January - Dr. Orly still thinks it's a trial on the 26th of January and has prepared an all-star cast of characters, by which I mean "complete and total pack of idiots".

"So far confirmed witnesses for January 26 trial against Obama in Atlanta GA:
1. Felicito Papa
2. Douglas Vogt
3. Susan Daniels
4. Dr. Ron Polland
5. Linda Jordan
6. Chris Strunk
7. I will attest on my search in the Selective Service records
8. Plaintiffs David Farrar and Cody Robert Judy"

I suspect the "attest on my search in the Selective Service records" part is due to Greg Hollister not wanting to admit to a judge he broke the law. Linda Jordan doesn't seem to have that sense of self-preservation.

Oh, and the first birtherstani civil war continues:

"Unfortunately at the same time I got a motion by Berg and Kreep in their frivolous law suit and instead of concentrating on preparing on the trial against Obama I have to waste hours of my time on this garbage thrown at me by attorneys Gary Kreep and Philip Berg and Berg’s assistant Lisa Liberi, who claim to be defamed, while she was never defamed and she is indeed a convicted forger and thief from CA. Anyone can go on the web site of the Superior court of San Bernardino CA, enter Lisa Liberi and see her convictions. This should have been dismissed long time ago. Unfortunately since the civil rights movement of the 60s, the federal court system was used as a tool of harassment of political dissident leaders, where such leaders were harassed by bogus law suits, often brought by convicted criminals like Liberi and their unethical attorneys. I have to respond on their motion within 10 days. which is around the same time as trial in GA. Do you think this is a coincidence?"

Dr. Orly is a fine one to talk about "bogus law suits"

15 January - Talk about unclear on the concept. Dr. Orly seems to be telling the State of Hawaii "please oh pretty please sanction my happy ass!!" (malware and redirect warning)

"Miss Nagamine,
out of abundance of caution I am serving you yet again with a subpoena for your client to appear at trial on January 26 and for pretrial deposition."

What part of "no, they're not enforceable in the State of Hawaii" did you not get??

"Please, be advised, that I will be seeking sanctions against you, if you do not cease and desist your meritless attacks on me and your continuing defamation of my character in that you are seeking for me to pay your costs in defending forgery and elections fraud by your officials and your requests for judge Nishimura to label me a vexatious plaintiff in the state of HI after bringing only 1 legal action in the state of HI, which is not frivolous, but a legitimate action of seeking inspection of an original document in light of an alleged copy, as well as and my service of subpoena for your client to appear at trial and for pretrial depositions."

So in Dr. Orly's rat-gnawed brainstem, accurately citing both Hawaiian and Geogria law, defending one's client against Dr. Orly's harassment and invalid "subpoenas" and asking to be reimbursed for the waste of taxpayers money that Dr. Orly is causing is somehow "meritless attacks" and "defamation of character".

" I will be reporting your actions and actions of your clients to the Oversight committee of the House of Representatives of the U.S. Congress, as well as the Inspector General of the Department of Justice for criminal investigation of violation of civil rights under color of authority, harassment of a civil rights attorney, defamation, obstruction of justice and aiding and abetting forgery and elections fraud."

My how very very threaty. Can we has sanctions now yes please???

15 January - Found at Miki Booth's Facebook page

Obviously a good law-obeying person like Miki Booth would condemn such things on her Facebook page…

Or not it seems.

15 January - My last dispatches included a "puff and fluff piece" about Carl Swensson and his branch of the Georgia Birther Ballot Jihad. This piece appeared in something called "American Free Press"

Well, turns out that "American Free Press" has some history. To be precise, it's founder, Willis Carto, has some back history, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

"Willis Carto has been a major figure on the American radical right since the 1950s, when he set up his anti-Semitic Liberty Lobby with offices not far from the White House. Although at one time he had access to leading politicians, Carto eventually became infamous for his pro-Nazi and rabidly anti-Jewish views and lost those connections. In 1978, he founded the first major American Holocaust-denial outfit, the Institute for Historical Review. Throughout his career, Carto has been known for his anti-Semitism, anti-black racism and the wild alternative health claims regularly made in his various publications."

And:

"In 2001, after years of stalling and legal wrangling in an attempt to shield his assets from seizure, Carto was ordered by the courts to relinquish control of Liberty Lobby and The Spotlight and to vacate his long held Liberty Lobby offices in Washington, D.C. Soon after, Carto did shutter The Spotlight (its last edition was July 2, 2001). However, a month later, Carto and former staffers of The Spotlight created yet another newspaper, American Free Press. Today, the Press carries stories on Zionism, secret "New World Order" conspiracies, American Jews and Israel. Mixed in are advertisements for outfits like Pete Peter's Scriptures for America and Kingdom Identity Ministries — practitioners of Christian Identity, a theology that claims that Jews are the biological descendants of Satan."

Wow. Swensson got interviewed by a racist, anti-semitic, anti-black publication. Wonder if he knew ahead of time?

Wonder if he cared.

You know birthers, it's really hard for us to buy the claim you're not racist when you keep hanging around with racists.

15 January - At the Pest and eFail, Lawrence Sellin continues his jihad against the GOP because they haven't gotten rid of the scary black man.

"There is only one option remaining to restore the Constitution and uphold the rule of law: refuse to vote for any Republican candidate in 2012 until Obama’s ineligibility and his fraudulent behavior are openly discussed and objectively investigated."

Well, it's certainly an improvement over his usual calls for rebellion and military coups.

15 January - Dr. Orly is getting really defensive about insisting her hearing on the 26th is a "trial", not a hearing. (malware and redirect warning)

"there are all kinds of rumors being spread by Obama operatives, claiming to be our supporters. Some are saying that there is no trial, please see this and other orders from judge Malihi, clearly indicating that there is a pretrial order and trial on January 26, 2012, 9am."

She provides the PDF here (malware and redirect warning). However, she doesn't finish the quote:

"ORDER

Plaintiff s unopposed request to continue is granted. in part. Plaintiffs Pre-trial order
and amended complaint. if any are due December 9,20 11 . Defendant 's Pretrial order is due December 19, 20 11. If necessary. the hearing will be held January 16-18.20 12 in Atlanta. No other continuances wil! be granted without good cause. SO ORDERED, December I. 2011."

So even the judge calls it a "hearing"

"Additionally, same operatives are saying that I need to get an additional permission from the judge for subpoenas. These people are either ignorant or intentionally trying to mislead the public."

Well, I suspect the judge is less than happy with the speed you've been passing around those pre-signed forms.

"The trial is in 9 days, we are in discovery, no additional permissions are necessary."

Oh gee. Did Dr. Orly forget the "Rules of Office of State Administrative Hearings of the State of Georgia, Chapter 616-1-2 Administrative Rules of Procedure, Rule 616-1-2-.38"?? I mean, it's not as if it's too hard to find, even the State of Hawaii Attorney General's office could find it.

But here, I'll remind her:

"Discovery shall not be available in any proceeding before an Administrative Law Judge except to the extent specifically authorized by law. Nothing in the Rule is intended to limit the provisions of Article 4 of Chapter 18 of Title 50 or Rule 37."

So no, you're not in discovery.

15 January - We have a de Vattelist birther ballot jihad in Illinois. Against Mitt Romney.

"By virtue of this law, in order for George Romney to have become a U.S. citizen he would have to be naturalized. Moreover, in order for Mitt Romney to be a Natural Born Citizen both of said candidate’s parents would have to be naturalized as U.S. citizens prior to Mitt Romney’s birth. The burden of proof falls upon said candidate to provide the necessary legal and authentic documentation to the veracity of said candidate’s parent(s) being naturalized U.S. citizens before the birth of Mitt Romney’s on March 12, 1947 in Detroit, MI.

The dates and any legal documentation pertaining to George Romney’s being repatriated or naturalized are crucial in order to determine Mitt Romney’s eligibility as President specifically related to the Natural Born Citizen clause set forth in the U.S. Constitution. The U.S. Nationality Act of 1940 Sect 201, 54 Stat. 1137, provides the law by which a person born outside the U.S. is bound by in order to qualify legally as a U.S. citizen. Therefore if candidate Romney’s parents weren’t lawfully U.S. citizens according to this Act, Mitt Romney is therefore not “legally qualified to hold such an office” as president by virtue of not being a Natural Born Citizen. The Romney’s had purposely left American legal jurisdiction: http://www.our-genealogy.com/Latter-Day-Saint-Families/Romney-Family/george_wilcken_romney.htm. The real legal question is this: Romney’s father was born in Mexico. Under their Constitution, he was a Mexican citizen. If George Romney was naturalized as a U.S citizen, what date was that naturalization obtained?

I, Michael Jackson seek relief by the prohibition of Willard Mitt Romney on the U.S. Presidential ballot; for Mr. Romney to attest to the dates of his father George Romney’s U.S. naturalization with legal and authentic documentation to the veracity of such facts; that any litigation expenses plaintiff incurs will be recovered in full; moreover that my 14th Amendment rights provided in Section 1 of U.S. Constitution are not deprived nor caused to suffer injury.

For Christ and Country and Most Respectfully"

15 January - I suspect Hawaii has gotten REALLY tired of Dr. Orly. (Malware and redirect warning)

"For example, you can write to the grand jury in Honolulu and demand to bring criminal indictment against the Director of Health, Registrar, Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General of HI for aiding and abetting forgery of official governmental records, for aiding and abetting election fraud, for obstruction of justice, for violation of civil rights of U.S. citizens under the color of authority. cc your complaint to even member of the jury, send it to congress, to media, to Inspector General of the department of Justice, Civil rights defenders commission of the United Nations and Inter American commission for Human Rights. If local DA in Honolulu refuses to bring charges, the grand jury can indict without the DA and make the indictment public. They can even include indictment against the DA, who is engaged in obstruction of justice. Make sure, that your complaint is received. We have seen obstruction of justice, where complaints were not forwarded to the Grand Juries."

New Hampshire too.

"The same can be done in NH against corrupt Secretary of State, members of the ballot law commission and even 5 judges of the Supreme Court of New Hampshire for aiding and abetting elections fraud and forgery."

15 January - Media Matters calls Joseph Farah out on his birther hypocrisy.

"Given his willingness to overlook overwhelming evidence to the contrary, it's difficult to believe that Farah would be such a "strong advocate" of Obama's purported ineligibility if he did not "detest everything for which he stands." As for Farah's claim that his assertion "is based on fact, on reality, on verifiable truth," this ignores reality as well. For example, a new book debunks many birther claims, and one prominent birther, Philip Berg, has shot down the WND-promoted idea that Obama is using a fake Social Security number. Curiously, WND has yet to report on either of these things, and WND's Jerome Corsi has refused to debate the book's author about his conclusions."

16 January - Dr. Orly's next target, the Super Duper Extra Crispy Article II Praise De Vattel's Sacred Word PAC (malware and redirect warning)

"art2 super pac was organized by a woman by name Helen Tansey. This woman claims she is a big supporter of eligibility issue, that she used to be a Democrat, possibly a registered Democrat, but she saw the light and now she is a Republican fighting Obama. I am not so sure this is the case."

No love for PUMAs, eh??

"This woman, Helen Tansey, sent e-mails to numerous supporters attacking me, saying that it was a fiasco. She was claiming that I need to be replaced as a leader of this movement. Many wrote back to her and told her that she really has the nerve. She never donated 1 cent to my work, she never filed any law suites herself. She was just bad mouthing me."

"MEEE!!!!! IT'S ALL ABOUT MEEEEE!!!!!!"

"One of these bloggers in Bob Nelson, who is running a blog ObamaReleaseYourrecords (ORYR). Lately he wrote several highly defamatory articles about me. At the same time he is heavily promoting this art2suoerpac. This is done on the eve of a legal action in GA, where I am working very hard, bringing witnesses to court, paying for airfare and hotel of several witnesses, flying to HI, trying to get a judge in HI to enforce the subpoena from GA. So, these defamatory articles are hurting my ability to raise funds and fly to different locations and fly witnesses to trial."

"GIVE YOUR BIRTHER BUCKS TO MEEE!!!! IT'S ALL ABOUT MEEEEEE!!!!!"

"I also noticed, that this pac, these 3 bloggers are trying to promote a couple of attorneys, who have limited cases. These attorneys are saying: we are not challenging Obama’s birth certificate, we are not challenging his fraudulently obtained Social Security number. Both attorneys, Marc Hatfield and Van Irion, are saying: we assume that Obama has a valid birth certificate and a valid Social Security number, he is not committing fraud and he was born in this country, we are questioning only one thing: can he run for president, if his father was a foreign national and he had allegiance to other countries.

My case includes everything: I question Obama’s eligibility due to his father’s foreign citizenship, but I am also flying 8 witnesses to trial in GA, telling the judge; not only there is a problem with his fathers citizenship, there is a problem with his forged documents, I am bringing a much stronger case. I am telling the judge, even if you rule in Obama’s favor on the issue of his fathers citizenship, you have to rule in my favor, as Obama also does not have a valid birth certificate and does not have any valid identification papers. Not only he needs to be removed, he needs to be criminally prosecuted. It is time for Watergate 2. "

So your case is different because you throw every lie possible against the wall in hopes something will stick, whereas they simply stick to misreading the Constitution.

"What I am questioning is, who is behind this art2superpac? In whose best interest is it to attack the only attorney who brings the most explosive evidence? In whose interest is it to come up with a gimmick, which is diverting funds from the movement, from the supporters in order to make it impossible for me to succeed? Make your own conclusions. "

My conclusion?? Even your fellow birthers think you're a nutcase.

Ah, birthers eating their own.

You know, at the rate Dr. Orly is pissing off her fellow birtherstani, her appearance at Birtherpoolza is gonna be awkward.

In today's dispatches, we have an assortment of motions in the Alabama Birther Ballot Jihads, and a couple "nope!" from the courts in reply. The State of Hawaii tells Dr. Orly "nope", not once, but twice, while that state's attorney general's office goes "we can has sanctions now yes please??

Stefan Cook passes away from pancreatic cancer.

Both Thomas MacLeran and James Manning seem to be hitting the NyQuil and Peyote smoothies again. And Sharon Meroni - surprise! - challenges Obama on her state's ballot.

11 January - Motion to dismiss filed in Thompson v Kennedy.

One really gets the idea that Barry Ragdale has little use for birthers. Not only does he cite eight separate birther cases, but asks for costs and fees as well.

11 January -Hearing for Sorensen v Kennedy is set for 17 January 2012

(Scribd link to order here)

12 January -Barry Ragsdale files the opposition for recusal in Sorensen v Kennedy

Note footnote 1:

"1 It should be empathasized that this objective standard used the perspective of a "reasonable person" and does not permit the unsupported allegations of a handful of fanatical conspiracy groupies to determine You Honor's fitness to hear this case."

OUCH!!!

"6. In the present case, the Plaintiff's unsupported assertion that Your Honor is "racially biased" is offensive, insulting, and contemptuous of this Court. Apparently, the plaintiff believes that Your Honor is incapable of being impartial solely on the grounds of Your Honor's race. In reality, the Plaintiff's motion says much more about the Plaintiff than it does about Your Honor. More importantly, the Plaintiff's cancerous view of the impact of race on the ability of this or any court to be impartial has been repeatedly and categorically rejected by the courts."

12 January -The Supreme Court for the State of Hawaii responds to Dr. Orly's request for a Writ of Mandamus against Judge Rhonda Nishimura.

(Scribd link here)

"Upon consideration of petitioner Dr. Orly Taitz's petition for a writ of mandamus, it appears that petitioner fails to demonstrate an entitlement to mandamus relief. See Kema v. Gaddis, 91 Hawai#i 200, 204, 982 P.2d 334, 338 (1999) (A writ of mandamus is an extraordinary remedy that will not issue unless the petitioner demonstrates a clear and indisputable right to relief and a lack of alternative means to redress adequately the alleged wrong or obtain the requested action. Such writs are not intended to supersede the legal discretionary authority of the lower courts, nor are they intended to serve as legal remedies in lieu of normal appellate procedures. ). Accordingly,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the petition for a writ of mandamus is denied.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, January 12, 2012.

12 January -The Pest and eFail reports that Stefan Cook has passed away.

"The Post & Email has just learned that Lt. Col. Stefan Cook, about whose illness we reported yesterday, has passed away at the James A. Haley Veterans Hospital in Tampa, FL at approximately 2:30 p.m. today of pancreatic cancer."

My prayers and sympathy to his family for their loss.

12 January - The State of Hawaii Attorney General's office files a "Defendants' Memorandum in Opposition to Plaintiff's Motion Reciprocal Subpoena Enforcement."

(Scribd link here)

One gets the feeling the State of Hawaii has done had it with one Dr. Orly.

"This case has been dismissed. Plaintiffs initial Petition filed on August 10, 2011 was dismissed on October 12,2011. Plaintiff withdrew her first emergency motion for rehearing in court on November 30, 2011 when she was unable to establish a legal basis for her motion or to justify arguing points not included in her motion. Plaintiffs amended emergency motion for rehearing was heard, argued, and denied on January 6, 2012. The order of dismissal stands."

Ah, but it wasn't buried in peat moss for three years and recycled as firelighters.

"In December, 2011, Defendants received from Plaintiff a Georgia administrative subpoena issued in Farrar, et al. v. Obarna, et al. (Docket No OSAH-1215136-60 MALIHI) for production of items pertaining to the President's birth certificate and notification that a pretrial deposition would be conducted on January 5, 2012 at 10:00 a.m. Trial in Georgia was indicated to be January 16-18. (See Exhibit A). Defendants' counsel notified Plaintiff that it would be unlawful to comply with her request, that the Georgia administrative tribunal had no jurisdiction over Defendants, and that Defendants would not be appearing at the deposition. (See Exhibit B)."

As in "what part of NO are we not understanding???

"Now, via an ex parte motion to the Court, Plaintiff's Motion for Reciprocal Subpoena Enforcement of a different subpoena issued in a Georgia state administrative matter is set for hearing on January 13,2012, in the improper forum of this dismissed case."

Captain, sensors are detecting a large mass of cranky directly ahead.

"A. Subpoenas issued from a Georgia state administrative tribunal have no force or effect or validity in Hawaii.

B. A court in Hawaii has no authority to enforce a Georgia administrative subpoena.

C. Even if the subpoena issued from the Georgia state administrative tribunal in Farrar. et al. v. Obama. et al. (Docket No OSAH-1215136-60 MALIHI) was a valid subpoena in the State of Hawaii, it would still be insufficient to override the clear mandate of section 338-18, Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS)."

What part of "invalid" did Dr. Orly not notice??

"D. Plaintiff has never served the subpoena in question on the Defendants, so any enforcement action is premature."

Plaintiff had an affair with CEL3, so may be used to premature action.

"E. Plaintiff continues to frivolously waste Defendants' time and Defendants will be filing a motion for Plaintiff to be sanctioned with (l) an order requiring her to pay Defendants' attorneys fees for time spent subsequent to the dismissal of the case and with (2) an order determining Plaintiff is a vexatious litigator and prohibiting her from filing any additional pleadings in this or any other matter in the state of Hawaii without first obtaining leave of Court."

Ah, Dr. Orly has taken the first steps towards that rarified area occupied by anti-semitic internet outhouse Andy Martin.

"By its own law and rules, neither Georgia nor its administrative tribunals have authority to subpoena an agency of the State of Hawaii."

How many times was Dr. Orly told this??

"An additional, but not unimportant, point is that Plaintiff is not even entitled to discovery in her Georgia administrative law hearing. According to the Rules of Office of State Administrative Hearings of the State of Georgia, Chapter 616-1-2 Administrative Rules of Procedure, at Rule 616-1-2-.38:

Discovery shall not be available in any proceeding before an Administrative Law Judge except to the extent specifically authorized by law. Nothing in the Rule is intended to limit the provisions of Article 4 of Chapter 18 of Title 50 or Rule 37."

*Chuckle* About this time, things were looking bad for Dr. Orly.

"Note that the new subpoena that Plaintiff has submitted with her ex parte motion to the court (the subpoena that was never served on Defendants) seems to include a request for yet another vital record to which Plaintiff is not entitled, e.g. the birth records of Virginia Sunahara. Neither Plaintiff nor any of Plaintiffs Georgia clients are entitled to that record any more than they are entitled to the vital records of the President."

And with good reason.

"Neither the manner of obtaining the subpoena from a website nor its issuance from an administrative tribunal meet the requirements of section 338-18(b)(9) which require that the court order be from a court of competent jurisdiction and that it actually establish the right to the record."

*Chuckle*

"From the beginning, Plaintiffs claims have been frivolous, unsupported by the facts and the law, brought without authority, and an overall waste of counsel's time, the Court's time, and judicial resources. Pursuant to section 607-14.5, HRS, Defendants are entitled to Attorney's Fees and Costs because all of the claims made by Plaintiff in this matter from the very beginning have been frivolous and not supported by any facts or any law and pursuant to chapter 634J, HRS, this Court should declare Plaintiff to be a vexatious litigator and sanction her with a profiling order prohibiting her from filing new litigation."

Pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease…………………..

"Plaintiff subsequently, upon dismissal of her case, filed unintelligible motions with confusing tiles for which she cited no authority."

In other words, she was being her normal nitrous-addled self.

Can Taft Skool o' Law and Stuff finally go "oops, our bad" and take back her degree?? It might be worth refunding the boxtops.

"Plaintiff has engaged in a pattern of making unsubstantiated allegations in courts throughout the country and she has repeatedly been denied the relief she desperately seeks. See Barnett v. Obama, 2009 WL 3861788, (C.D. Cal. October 29, 2009), Rhodes v. McDonald, 2010 WL 892848, (11 th Cir. March 15,2010), Cook v. Good, 2009 WL 2163535, (M.D. Ga. 2009), Taitz v. Obarna, 707 F.Supp. 2d I (U.S.D.C. District of Columbia, 2010), Taitz v. Obama 754 F. Supp. 2d 57 (U.S.D.C. District of Columbia 2010)."

Don't you just love how she's her own cite string?

"On one occasion, the involved Court went so far as to order that Plaintiff pay $20,000.00 as a sanction for filing frivolous pleadings and violating Rule I\, Rhodes v. McDonald, 670 F.Supp. 2d 1363, 1382. (M.D. Ga. 2009)."

"Yosi?? Please to be getting out checkbook again? Your darling Orlyana, she be having another oopsie in the court again….."

"Plaintiff s history in this case alone demonstrates that she proffers theories without legal authority or merit."

This case? Try her life.

"The present motion is another example of Plaintiff's documented practice of filing unsubstantiated moving papers. A few hours of legal research was all it took for Defendants' counsel to discover the applicable Georgia law pertaining to administrative hearings and administrative subpoenas. Either Plaintiff did not take that minimal amount of time before she presented her frivolous and unsubstantiated claims to this court, or worse scenario, she did take that time and actually knew that she had no merit to her claims."

Oh she knew. She just didn't care.

"Plaintiff has every reason to know that her claims will not ever succeed, yet she persists with them, never proffering legal authority and never proffering new relevant evidence. She fails to recognize or acknowledge that there is no legal authority or relevant evidence which will ever entitle her to what she seeks. Her pleadings are blatantly without authority and she fails to serve copies of what she has given to the Court on the Defendants."

I'm beginning to think the ethics board for the California Bar Association is much like Sasquatch. Talked about, rarely glimpsed, with no real evidence to support it's existence.

12 January - Thomas MacLeran, did you go off your meds again??

"…there isn’t an obvious demarcation between adherents of the Constitution of the United States and those who haven’t the wherewithal to foresee the demise of their homeland, it makes it doubly difficult to identify the enemy of Lady Liberty. For sure, there are telltale signs that help, such as subscribers to The New York Times, bumper stickers proudly proclaiming the owners’ disdain for America, and other bumper stickers saying it’s not the GOP’s fault. In fact, there is but one political party, not two, and the silence on Obama’s eligibility from both sides of the aisle is all the proof anyone requires."

So a New York Times subscription is proof of treason in MacLeran's mind?

"We’ve ruled out geographical proximity for Obama administration policy supporters, and not all Obots publicly display their overt belief for the overthrow of the Constitution"

We're not the ones trying to ignore, rewrite, or overthrow the Constitution. We leave those activities to the birtherstani.

"It’s virtually impossible to easily identify a traitor, and if you’d quiz them, chances are that they would be unable to make the correlation between supporting Obama and being against the Constitution, of being anti-American."

That's because there ISN'T a correlation.

"The mental capacity for denial knows no bounds, as is so aptly expressed by the acknowledgement that the senator from Minnesota, Al Franken, is illegally representing the state."

Wow. They're still clinging to the "wahh, Al Franken stole the election" lies. Amazing.

"Civil servants control the election process, and the question of legality has no merit on actuality; reference the Black Panther intimidation case and the aforementioned Franken case."

Who investigated the charges against the "New Black Panther" party and ruled there was no evidence to support those claims??

Oh, right, the BUSH administration's Department of Justice.

"Remember that during the American Revolution, supporters of the king lived next door to supporters of the Constitution, and since our Forefathers figured it out, so will we."

Oooh, threaty.

13 January -I think it's safe to assume that Dr. Orly saw the reject for sanctions. (malware and redirect warning)

"I just arrived in HI and checked my e-mails. Deputy attorney general Nagamine represents a pinnacle of corruption of a governmental official. "

"Wahhh! She said something MEAN to me!!!"

"Not only she refuses to comply with the subpoena, but she claims that my demand for the original birth certificate is frivolous and that the judge should charge me the cost of all the hearings and deem me a vexatious litigant, not allowed to bring any more actions in HI without leave of court."

Hopefully this will be the end of your free ride though the court system, and that more and more courts will get tired of your abuse.

"She completely disregarded the fact, that judge Malihi ordered Obama to stand trial on January 26 and prove his eligibility, that eligibility is the essence of the case and the birth certificate is the most important evidence . "

The only person disregarding the facts is you, since there IS NO TRIAL!

"This woman belongs in prison for what she is doing to me, to my clients and to the whole country."

"Wahhh! She said something mean about me!!"

"You can see how much stress I have to withstand, you can see the financial threats that are applied towards me by corrupt officials of Obama regime. I was up from 4 am CA time It is 12:30 HI time or 2:30 am Ca time. It is nearly unbearable to withstand all of this stress of this criminal regime."

There is no "criminal regime", save in the corridors of your nitrous-added, rat gnawed brain.

13 January - The "American Free Press" blog has a puff and fluff piece about Carl Swensson and the Georgia Birther Ballot Jihad.

"One of the plaintiffs, Carl Swensson of Atlanta, has been a part of this movement since retired naval officer Walt Fitzpatrick brought it to the headlines three years ago and has been in active support of both Fitzpatrick and Darren Huff by testifying at their various hearings. Both men are currently in jail—Fitzpatrick for contempt of court and Huff awaiting sentencing."

Funny how you fail to mention that it was Swensson's testimony to the FBI that helped put Fitzpatrick and Huff IN jail in the first place.

"Swensson told AFP that this case, now docketed in state court in Atlanta for Jan. 26, will be the first to be heard by any court. In the past Mrs. Taitz, attorney Leo Denofrio of New Jersey and former Pennsylvania Deputy Attorney General Philip J. Berg, as well as others, have been frustrated by the courts at various levels by their refusal to hear the matter."

Well, yes, it's the first to make it to an administrative law hearing. And??

13 January -The Thompson v Kennedy version of the Alabama Birther Ballot Jihad is dismissed.

(Scribd link here)

"Order

MOTION TO DISMISS PURSUANT TO RULE 12(B) filed by KENNEDY MARK, CHAIRMAN OF THE DEMOCRATIC PART is hereby GRANTED and the Court adopts the order of Judge Helen Shores Lee order of January 9, 2012.

/s/ JAMES E. HILL
CIRCUIT JUDGE"

So much for the birther claim that "the only reason Hendershot's case was dismissed was that the judge was Black!"

13 January - The Birmingham News reports on the dismissal of Thompson v Kennedy. Though they don't even mention Thompson's name.

"A St. Clair County judge dismissed a lawsuit filed by a Pell City man challenging President Obama's inclusion on Democratic Party ballots in the March 13 primary, court records show.

The one-page order issued this morning by Circuit Judge James E. Hill, cited a ruling Monday by a Jefferson County Circuit Court judge dismissing a similar suit filed in December in Birmingham."

13 January - Al Hendershot claims (on Swiftboat Liar Jerome Corsi's Facebook) that Gary Kreep and his "United States Justice Foundation" is going to come to his rescue (which is going to make Dr. Orly fume).

"Albert E. Hendershot > Jerome Corsi United States Justice Foundation is willing to help us in our case. However, I need an Attorney here in Alabama that is willing to sponsor so we can have our Pro Hac Vice help. Do any af my friends know of an attorney in Alabama that I can call?

"Again, USJF is willing to assist in the Alabama eligibility litigation. We also need an attorney admitted in Alabama to sponsor us pro had vice, so t…hat we can appear in the case, and to help us with local court rules. Do you have/know an attorney that will help us in this regard—if required, we will pay the attorney for his/her time. Please get back to me ASAP if you want our help. I will be in Houston, Texas, on Sunday, and could fly over to Alabama for a meeting that day."

13 January - Transcript of Dr. Orly's 6 January hearing in Hawaii.

(Scribd link here)

13 January - Courtroom observers in Hawaii report on the courts decision on Dr. Orly's subpoena request.

Denied.

13 January - Via Mike Dunford, courtroom observer:

"1: Judge Nishimura was more like what we saw in the video of the 30 November hearing, and not as irritated appearing as last time.
2: No real law school for Orly today. Actually, not a lot of reason to.
3: The hearing ran approximately 45 minutes, mostly because Orly was permitted to read her reply directly into the record. This kept her more focused than normal for the main portion of her argument.
4: Orly reading her reply into the record did result in a great deal of bats hit insanity being read into the record.
5: We saw the bulk of the Defendant's argument in the opposition memo that was posted last night.
6: Defendant very firm that a separate sanctions memo will be forthcoming, and indicated that while they will ask for fees, they are primarily interested in the vexatious litigant order because financial sanctions have been shown not to deter Orly, and they do want to avoid wasting time in the future.
7: Orly was very agitated. Talking fast (several times too fast for the court reporter), loudly, shrilly. Very upset at being accused of frivolousness and vexatiousness. Both Judge Nishimura and Ms. Nagamine let her make her position very clear on the record without interruption or objection.
8: Judge Nishimura indicated that it was not completely inappropriate for Orly to have filed an additional motion in this case. Judge Nishimura cited "The Jenkins Ruling" (or possibly "Jenkins Case"). If someone wants to look that up, that would be great. I'm probably not going to have the time to in the next few hours.
9: Judge Nishimura dismissed. She based her dismissal on HRCP Rule 45, which Orly had cited in the motion.
10: Orly attempted at various times to call upon the precedents of Susan B Anthony, Korematsu, and Marbury v Madison."

13 January - Wonkette seems to think James Manning is a bit crazy.

What was the first clue?

"Manning, in a new edition of his heartwarming Manning Report video series, says he believes that both Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney have black fathers, because no white couple would name their child Newton Leroy McPherson or Willard Mitt Romney.

Manning:

I believe that Newt Gingrich’s father was a liberal-educated black man. I do!

He says a similar thing about Romney. Then:

Somewhere down the line, I think that the [sic] Romney’s wives [sic? ish?] got in bed with sleeping car porters on them long train trips from Michigan to Chicago and Chicago to Boston…these politicians and the wealthy wives used to take these long train rides from Chicago to LA and these sleeping car porters didn’t have anything to do, the women were bored, it was a four-day train ride…

Manning’s argument goes on to say that there were literally two “sleeping car porters” named Leroy and Willard after whom Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney were named."

It's James Manning. He's nutter than squirrel turds.

13 January - Oh what a surprise. Sharon Meroni is objecting to Obama being on the Illinois ballot.

Now a little bit of back history. A few months ago, there was a young child in Colorado. Biologically male, however self-identifies as female. Said child wanted to participate in Girl Scouts. At first the local council said no, and later reversed this decision.

This caused some backlash, with a couple troops at religious-based schools dissolving their troops and going with an off-shoot group called "American Heritage Girls", described as:

"…a group organized in 1995 in protest to the Girl Scouts' decision to allow scouts to replace the word "God" in scout teachings with a word representing a personal image of God, such as a "higher being," "Allah" or "Buddha.

The newer group proclaims Jesus Christ as Lord, limits membership to girls and works to disciple girls as Christians."

American Heritage Girls (which claimed 13,000 members as of August of 2011), isn't the only religious offshoot of the Girl Scouts. For those who think AHG are too wishy-washy namby-pamby secular, there's also "Little Keepers at Home" Not to mention the "Pioneers Clubs", and GEMS, or "Girls Everywhere Meeting the Savior"

In a nutshell, AHG broke off from Girl Scouts of the United States of America for not being as discriminatory towards Atheists and Gays as Boy Scouts of America has unfortunately become. And it's interesting to note that AHG has a memorandum of understanding with BSA. (Bear in mind the fact that one of the reasons why BSA has become so far-right and discriminatory is that BSA gets a lot of funding from troops chartered by conservative and fundamentalist churches and religious organizations.)

Anyway, getting back to what I saw yesterday. It was a video by a young lady claiming to be a 14 year old Cadette Girl Scout. And she was calling for a boycott of Girl Scout cookies due to their inclusion of female-identified transgendered children.

(as of 12 Jan 2012, the video was taken private)

She also connected to a group calling themselves "Honest Girl Scouts", who are upset over GSUSA's inclusive activities. Not to mention that it seems most of "Honest Girl Scouts" objections seem to have an ideological tie. (Glenn Becks' "The Blaze" Really? That's an objective source???)

"Honest Girl Scouts" also wants GSUSA to disassociate themselves from WAGGS (World Association of Girl Guides and Scouts):

"BREAK ALL ASSOCIATION, MEMBERSHIP AND FUNDING FROM WAGGGS (World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts), as they clearly demonstrate a friendship with International Planned Parenthood Foundation (IPPF) and its worldwide agenda of explicit sexual education for young children."

They also seem to be paired with "Girl Scouts Why Not", "100 Questions for the Girl Scouts", and "Speak Now Girl Scouts", all of whom are using the same talking points and showing the same anti-feminism, anti-LGBT, and anti-religious diversity diversity and showing the same ties to the fundamentalist right and the anti-choice community. And all of whom seem to be promoting AHG as an alternative.

I'm a Girl Scout dad myself, so I showed this video to my daughter. Who was less than impressed (she thinks the girl in the video is violating the Girl Scout Law. I can't say I disagree with her.) But she noticed something that was nibbling at the back of my brain.

In the video, the girl (Who claims to be a 14 year old named "Taylor" with 8 years in Girl Scouts) is wearing a Cadette sash. On the sash is US Flag patch, GS and Council patches, a strip of duct tape covering the troop numbers, seven membership star pins, and what looks to be the Bronze Award (the third highest award in Girl Scouts, and the highest a Junior can achieve.)

(You can find the approved layout for the badges here)

There's something I'm not seeing - and that my daughter noticed without any prompting.

You see, "Taylor" claims to have been in Girl Scouts for eight years, meaning she was six when she joined. Which means she would have been a Daisy when she joined, and progressed from Daisy to Brownie to Junior and then to Cadette. At each stage, the girl "bridges" to the next stage, with each bridging having a different shaped rainbow-striped patch. In addition, when one goes from Brownie to Junior, they're considered to have "flown up" from Brownies, and a Brownie Wings patch is added, which stays on the sash all the way though to Ambassador.

Finally, if Taylor had been active enough to earn a Bronze Award, you would expect some merit badges on that sash too.

But there's the problem. There's no bridging patch. No brownie wings. No merit badges. Absolutely nothing to indicate any sort of activity outside of the membership stars. And the sash doesn't look all that used either.

At this point, I smell a rat. I find it very hard to believe this young lady is actually a Girl Scout. But I do think she's part of an attempt by the religious right to hurt Girl Scouting financially.

This story (not surprisingly) made World Nut Daily. Which isn't the first time WND has gone on an anti-Girl Scout rant, with an article on 14 August 2011, and an earlier one on 17 May 2009

I have to say that I'm seeing an effort from the fundamentalist right in this country to "punish" the Girl Scouts in this country for not having become as far-right and discriminatory as the Boy Scouts have unfortunately become, and for daring to teach girls to be something other than second-class citizens.

This "boycott" (which matches one that "Speak Now Girl Scouts" is also doing), seems to be an example of that attempt to punish GSUSA for daring to be something more than a cookie-cutter clone of BSA with the word "Boy" replaced with "Girl". And for daring to have a different view of what Scouting is than the people who run BSA.

Oh, and please plan to buy more cookies. Or donate cookies to people in the military via "Operation Cookie Drop".

On edit - 8:35pm PST, 12 January 2012.

The blogs "The New Civil Rights Movement" and "Dangerous Minds" have found that the "Taylor" in the video is the daughter of the founders of "Honest Girl Scouts"

"It seems the parents who run a ludicrous, anti-women, anti-LGBT, anti-American, anti-Girl Scouts group called ”Honest Girl Scouts” are using their own 14-year old daughter to wage war on the Girl Scouts for the appropriate and harmless inclusion of a seven-year old transgender girl in a scout troop in Colorado.

(The transgender girl, Bobby Montoya, was first told she couldn’t join, then the Scouts changed their minds.)

Taylor — who won’t give her last name — unleashed an almost eight-minute self-righteous, bigoted, and ignorant video essentially claiming that the seven-year old transgender girl was a physical threat to other girl scouts. She mention her parents in the video, though not by name, and directs viewers to the website, “Honest Girl Scouts.”

But if “Honest Girl Scouts” are so honest, why are they hiding who they are? Their domain, registered in 2010, says it’s owned by “The Universe.” Have they have fraudulently registered their domain, a violation, if I’m not mistaken, of ICAAN rules? And there is no mention on the site of who runs it. (I’ve started an investigation with the domain registrar to request they look into what seems to be a fraudulent registration….)"

The birthers aren't done with Alabama either, with one case warmed over Dr. Orly, and the other bound and determined to really piss off the judge. A birtherstani gets something almost kinda sorta like something that almost came close to a clue once, and suggests that Dr. Orly might not be helping their cause very well.

Dr. Orly goes apedump at any birther who DARES QUESTION HER, while Philip Berg smells blood in the water. Thomas MacLeran gives a unique spin to the concept of "civil rights". Not to mention US History. The Pest and eFail tries to rewrite the entire history of the US legal system, while one of their repeat offenders gets all threatening with the Georgia legal system.

Arizona has Yet Another Birther Bill. And sad news about one of Dr. Orly's plaintiffs.

I have noticed $12 more in tip jar donations from my readers. Thank you for your kind thoughts and generosity. As I said, it's a very humbling experience to know one's words are valued in such a way.

9 January - Copy of Judge Helen Shores Lee's dismissal order in the Hendershot case.

(PDF here)

"The Plaintiff has not and cannot cited this Court to an Alabama statute that “specially and specifically” grants this Court subject matter jurisdiction to determine whether the President of the United States is a “Natural Born Citizen” or is otherwise eligible to hold the office of President. As a consequence, in the absence of a statute “specially and specifically” granting this Court subject matter jurisdiction to entertain the Plaintiff’s claims, this action must be dismissed.

While there are several other grounds on which this Court could dismiss the present action, the absence of subject matter jurisdiction is obviously sufficient. See Crutcher v. Williams, 12 So.3d 631, 635 (Ala. 2008) (“A court is obligated to vigilantly protect against deciding cases over which it has no jurisdiction….”).

The present action is hereby DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE. Costs taxed as paid.

DONE this 9th day of January, 2012.

CIRCUIT JUDGE"

9 January - The New Hampshire Birther Ballot Jihad is far from over.

"Although he doesn’t call himself a “birther,” Mr. Rappaport doesn’t believe the validity of the president’s birth certificate.

“If I were asked to make a forgery, I could do a better job,” Mr. Rappaport said. “I don’t consider that a birth certificate at all.”

Don't you just love the people who say "I'm not a birther" and then parrot back all the birther talking points??

It's like the people who say "I'm not a racist" just before they say something really racist.

"Although the GOP legislators appear to have lost their argument for removing Mr. Obama from the primary ballot, Mr. Rappaport said he intends to pursue their quest through the general election."

Well of course they will.

And they'll fail there as well.

9 January - Cody Judy is flying the "Blut und Boden" flag, and screw military families who don't like it!!!

"I have always been of the frame of mind that the ‘natural born citizen’ could also be diluted most simply by a natural born citizen having a child in a foreign land.

This recognition has materialized in heated opposition of military men and women having children outside the United States. However, though the fires rage in insult, there is no escaping the real fact that the child born in a foreign land will always recall naturally the place of first combustion with natural fondness.

In my view, the extremely rare case of a military child becoming President is trumped by the two-prong test of being born in the United States to Citizen Parents. This protects the seat of the Commander-In-Chief within the Constitution and every military person swears an oath to the Constitution. I simply believe if a mother serving in a foreign land desired to secure the rarest odds or likelihood their child was a future president, 1 in 10,000,000, that leave would be afforded to deliver within the United States, or as more likely would be the case, the parents not be unsatisfied with the child being a Congressmen, that has much improved odds."

So in other words "If you're born while your parents are serving overseas, then you're a second class citizen, too bad, so sad. That's what you get for having the bad taste to be born on some foreign soil."

What a piece of work.

9 January - And in the third Alabama Birther Ballot Jihad case, Thompson v Kennedy, we have the motion for preliminary injunction.

(Scribd link here)

The funny thing is he starts with an affidavit where he states:

"I have personal knowledge of the facts stated in this Affidavit, and, if called as a witness, I could testify competently to them."

The problem is the "facts" he claims to have "personal knowledge of" is Leo Donofrio's interpretation of Minor v Happersett, Douglas Vogt's claim the long form was a forgery, Greg Hollister and Linda Jordan's violations of federal law, and "additional definitive proof of misrepresentation, evidence of fraud, identity theft, and withholding evidence from the Citizens of the State of Alabama which will be presented in Court."

Somehow I don't think that's what's usually meant by "personal knowledge of the facts".

The actual case itself is a mishmash of Dr. Orly's claims and other birther lawsuits. Nothing particularly new or novel.

9 January - One gets the feeling that Judge Nishimura is toying a bit with Dr. Orly. (malware and redirect warning)

"JUDGE RHONDA NISHIMURA IN HI GRANTED MY MOTION TO EXPEDITE THE HEARING ON RECIPROCAL SUBPOENA ENFORCEMENT. NEW HEARING IS THIS FRIDAY, JANUARY 13, 10:30AM. I WILL BE FLYING TO HI FOR THE 5TH TIME!
Posted on | January 9, 2012"

Aww. She's helping you earn more frequent flier miles!

"I just got off the phone with judge’s legal assistant Jamie, she stated that my motion was granted by judge Nishimura and the new hearing will be this Friday at 10:30 am. This is a positive aspect."

Yes, I'm positive you're going to be upset at the result.

"The negative aspect, is the fact, that this will be the fifth time I will be flying to HI to a hearing."

Oh shucky darn?

"It is depleting all the donations. I hate to ask, but donations and frequent flier miles will come very handy. This is a very tough fight. You know the resources, that might opponent has, but with your help we are moving along. Thank you for your support ."

"You be coming on, worthless cavity creeps! The PayPal button, it not be kicking itself!!"

9 January - Harold Sorensen digs himself deeper, filing a "motion of recusal" against Judge Helen Shores Lee.

(Scribd link here)

"Comes now, Harold Sorensen, Plaintiff in the above captioned cause, respectively believes that Circuit Helen Shores Lee recuse herself from this case on the following grounds:

Due to racial bias, lack of judicial discretion as well as lack of knowledge of the U.S. Constitution, Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 which states: "No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the OffIce of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States." Additionally, Judge Lee has violated her oath of office under the Alabama Constitution, Article XV, Oath of Office: Section 1. All members of the general assembly, and all officers, executive and judicial, before they enter upon the execution of the duties of their respective offices, shall take the following oath or affirmation, to wit:

"I, ………. , solemnly swear (or ajJlrm, as the case may be) that I will support the Constitution of the United States, and the Constitution of the State of Alabama, so long as I continue a citizen thereof; and that I will faithfully and honestly discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter, to the best of my ability. So help me God"

So let's see. He just called the judge hearing his case a racist, ignorant of the law and the Constitution, and a traitor. Does that sound about right??

And I will note that the first person who claimed the judge might be racist due to being African-American was Dr. Orly, before the case was dismissed.

9 January - Tommy Thompson also files a motion for injunction in Alabama.

(Scribd link here)

It's a duplicate of Harold Sorensen's motion, with the plaintiff's names changed.

I really hope the Alabama Democratic Party goes after attorneys fees.

9 January - And just in case you were curious about Harold Sorensen's opinion of the legal system, well, he's described as the "Major General" and JAILer-In-Chief of the Alabama chapter of JAIL for Judges.

And what is JAIL for Judges??

"The Special Grand Jury (SGJ) under J.A.I.L., made up of the people, is not a part of government whatsoever, and has no oversight by government.

In creating a means by which the people would be able to implement their inherent power over government, Ron realized that he would have to rely on the grand jury concept-- one that is established constitutionally and given statewide operation. He knew that the so-called county "grand juries" governed by statute are not autonomous bodies, but an operation by government as our current county grand jury system is in California. In California there does not now exist a grand jury of the people that operates autonomously.

The grand jury created for J.A.I.L. would not be any part of government, nor could it be if the people were to exercise their inherent power to "alter or reform" government as they are constitutionally authorized to do. Government, being the object of grand jury power, cannot be in control of it for obvious reasons. Therefore, the operation of J.A.I.L. by a grand jury cannot be connected with government whatsoever. Under J.A.I.L., the statewide Special Grand Jury is not part of, nor a branch of, nor associated with, government of any kind. It is an autonomous body of citizens, i.e., the people."

Why does this sound like the Fantasy Tiddlywinks League??

9 January - At Birther Report, one of the birtherstani gets a glimmering that maybe, just maybe, Dr. Orly isn't exactly helping their jihad…..

"Not only do I try to keep up with all of the different efforts, I also follow all the lawsuits filed by Dr. Orly Taitz, and other than the fact that it often looks like she is more concerned with promoting Orly Taitz than she is with the very important task at hand for the American people, I tend to look past that, because she does bring a lot of attention to the fraud that has been committed, and I commend her for that.

However, there is something I can no longer look past, because it is something that speaks to character, and in this huge battle, I believe keeping ourselves above board and honest to be of the utmost importance."

Considering how alien concepts like "honesty" are to a birther, that's rather surprising.

"Recently, Dr. Taitz has been stating on her website and elsewhere that Georgia Judge Michael Malihi has issued subpoenas related to her Georgia case, and she has even posted images of the subpoenas. Does she really think that people are that gullible?"

Yes, yes she does.

"She has done nothing but download pre-signed subpoena forms from the Georgia OSAH website (www.osah.ga.gov) that are made available to attorneys involved in cases there. Even nobodies like I know that a Georgia Administrative Court doesn't have the power to subpoena officials from other states! So, how dishonest is it for Orly to represent that Judge Malihi doesn't understand that simple legal principle, and that he is issuing these subpoenas? Even if he did have that power, it would be a lie that his court issued the “subpoenas” that Orly is posting and gloating about. Downloading blank forms and filling them out is not the same as a judge-issued subpoena!"

What? You're actually suspecting that Dr. Orly lies though her teeth??? Shock! Amazement!!

"Here is my why I am writing to you. It has been difficult enough for us to be heard on the facts that we know are true—and when one of the “names” in the movement is so publicly dishonest, it just discredits everything that the movement has worked so hard to accomplish. "

Oh, don't worry. Dr. Kate, Philip Berg, Sharon Rondeau, James Manning, Charles Kerchner, Greg Hollister, Terry Lakin, Dean Haskins, Andy Martin, Leo Donofrio, Mario Apuzo, Stephen Pidgeon, Walter Fitzpatick, Carl Swensson, Lucas Smith, Cody Judy, Ron Polland, and many, many, many other birthers have been just as dishonest and done their part to discredit your movement as well.

"It also causes me to wonder what else Dr. Taitz has not been honest about! Is she just spreading lies hoping that it will cause people to donate more money to her?"

DING DING DING DING!! WE HAVE A WINNER!!!

"Just a little bit of research showed me that Mr. and Mrs. Orly live in a $3 million home in Laguna Niguel, CA. It looks like they already have a lot more money than most of us do, but she's the most vocal in the entire movement with the money-begging."

Funny, the debunkers have been pointing that out about your "lady liberty" for a few years now.

"Does she occasionally smear the good names and efforts of others in the movement as a way to divert possible donations away from them and to her, or is it just that, in her mind, she must be the only one in the spotlight?"

YES! YES, WE ARE ACTUALLY DETECTING A SOMETHING CLOSE TO AN ACTUAL CLUE!!!!

"I can't imagine that most donations amount to all that much—they certainly cannot be worth enough for someone to forfeit their honor and integrity. But that's what I tend to see from Dr. Taitz."

Oh come on. Open your eyes a bit more, and you'll see that from almost every other big name birther out there!!

"I know this has been a long note, and that wasn't my intention, but here is the real question I want to ask you. Why aren't all the good people who are so active in this movement publicly denouncing these tactics?"

Because the ones that aren't completely blinded by hatred and bigotry are busy trying to do the exact same thing to the other birthers.

"I'm sure they all know that Orly has never gotten a subpoena issued from Judge Malihi. If they all know these are lies, why aren't they publicly condemning the deception?"

Because facts and the truth always take a back seat to lies and hatred about Obama. That's life on the streets of birtherstan.

And in comments:

"Anonymous said…[Reply]

First off I commend ORYR for printing the letter. When "Obots" have pointed out the exact same things here, they've been attacked and laughed at. If there is a movement, Orly has brought it to the laughable lever. No one could have done more damage to it.

Those subpoenas are not the only things she lies about relative to her efforts and cases. I don't think it's all about donations for Orly, but she begs for them every day.

In fact, the only "birther" I believe it was all about the donations for was Phil Berg, who early on garnered a significant amount of money by doing exactly what Orly does, and that's lying about the status of his cases over and over. He was finally caught at it by documentation and that ended.

I don't think it's about money for the other "leaders" (except perhaps Haskins) but I have no idea why they don't call Orly out on her lies except for the fact that perhaps they somehow feel that no matter how crazy some of her claims (most actually) it keeps the "issue" out in front of the public. That's true, but I'm convinced her publicity causes more harm than good to anyone who believes in the cause.

Beyond that, to not recognize that she is completely legally incompetent, is the ostrich syndrome. She (and others as well, but more so Orly) say what some want to hear so they make themselves believe her.

"if the judge/court didn't want them to be used then they wouldn't have posted them in the FIRST PLACE!!!!!!"

The forms are (were) placed there for the convenience of officers of the court to perform their duties when they actually have leave or order from the court to serve a subpoena. They are not there for anyone to just download and use at a whim.

It's exactly the same way as when a judge orders prevailing counsel to "prepare an order to that effect". Counsel has to prepare the order in accordance with what the Judge intended. They can't just write up an order at whim and include anything they want.

Orly took advantage of a resource of trust made available to attorneys practicing in good faith, and she's using it illegally and improperly. As a result now none of the attorneys in Georgia can make use of it.

Dr. Orly? Share the stage with anyone else??

"Anonymous said…[Reply] Orly states: "In relation to subpoenas, some uneducated morons, who do not have any legal background are claiming that it is somehow illegal to issue subpoenas."

Putting the vast irony aside, I read the concerned citizen's letter, and nowhere in it did that person even imply that issuing subpoenas is illegal. I think the point the person was making was that it is dishonest (or unethical) for Orly to claim that the blank subpoena forms that she filled in the blanks on were somehow issued by Judge Mahili. I think that only an uneducated moron (or an unethical, money-seeking attention hound) would believe that such a subpoena was issued by a judge.

And, I saw the $3 million house remark too, and while I certainly agree with the person who "admires success," I don't agree with someone who has more means than the rest of us constantly begging us for donations to fund her ever-increasing number of embarrassing failures.

"American Citizen said…[Reply] Thank you for bringing this information to my attention. I have donated to Dr. Taitz in the past. I have had increasing reservations about her methods and personal ambitions. I think that she has betrayed many good people for the sake of her self aggrandizement. For as hard as she has worked and for the importance of the issue, it is disappointing that I have to question her integrity. With great disenchantment, I will not be supporting Dr. Taitz any more.

Some of them are starting to look at something that may have been actually near a clue at one point.

Even the moderator gets into the act.

"Moderator said…[Reply] The person that submitted the published letter is not an Obot. In fact if we revealed the name most readers here would know who the person is.

We were asked not to publish the name for various reasons. This is not about the person that published the valid concern. Have Orly address it herself and we will happily publish her rebuttal.

The concerns are valid and not just concerns of the writer. We receive many similar complaints and concerns related to Attorney Taitz's tactics.

Looks like a pretty open and brazen appeal for money alright.

"Dean Haskins said…[Reply] The only way anyone sees that message is to visit our site--it, by no means, can be construed as a "public appeal for money." I have issued no public statements begging for money. What is on our website is simply "matter of fact," there have been no vocal cries for money. There is nothing different in what you posted, and any other agency in the world promoting an event. To equate that with a statement that I am just concerned about money is absurd and ludicrous.

Is your site open to the public?? Well then it's a public appeal for money then, same as Dr. Orly's appeals for money on her site.

Haskins hypocrisy is pretty outstanding, even for a birther.

9 January - The Birther Report article about the disgruntled birther shows up in the Facebook community "Orly's World"

Guess who appears in the comments:

*Evil chuckle*

10 January - Dr. Orly reacts to the open letter at Birther Report. (Malware and redirect warning)

And the reaction is about what you would expect.

"Yet again I was maligned by people claiming to be on the same side and hiding behind anonymous names. This is the last time I am responding to anonymous attacks. I operate in the open, my name and my bar license are known. In the future, people, who attack me, need to get out of the shadows, provide their name, their bar license and specific rules and statutes, that they are claiming."

Oh, are we going the Leo Donofrio route when it comes to criticism??

"In relation to subpoenas, some uneducated morons, who do not have any legal background are claiming that it is somehow illegal to issue subpoenas. This is a total and complete nonsense. We are less than 3 weeks before trial. "

First off, the "subpoenas" you were using are only valid in Georgia.

Second off, it's not a trial, it's an administrative hearing.

"It is interesting that in one of his orders, judge Malihi admonished the parties not to embellish the statements, he told the parties that all quotes will be checked. I never saw a judge giving such a stern warning to the parties, as it is presumed that the parties provide the court with correct statements, don’t embellish and it is presumed that the statements are checked. I can’t say for sure, but it is likely Judge Malihi made such a stern warning, to show, that the meaning of natural born should not be embellished."

Which, of course, the birthers will do anyway.

"Here is a bigger question: why do people, claiming to be on our side, are hiding behind assumed names and are supporting only attorneys, who bring very limited cases, which can be quickly defeated, and are attacking and viciously defaming the only attorney, who brings forward a stronger case with the most explosive evidence, which not only will keep Obama off the ballot, but will send him and his accomplices to prison? What is their motivation? "

The motivation is the dim but growing realization that your antics are directly hurting their cause. Mind you, they don't have a snowball's chance either.

You know how the birthers ended up throwing Philip Berg under the bus because he kept making promises that he never delivered on, all the while trying to hit people up for money?

Looks like you might be joining him there.

10 January - Stephen Pidgeon steps away from birtherism to focus on his primary joy - denying GLBT people equal rights.

"As the Legislature prepares to take up a bill legalizing same-sex marriage, a gay-marriage opponent on Monday filed an initiative in an attempt to ensure the issue is brought before voters in November, should lawmakers approve it.

The filing by Everett attorney Stephen Pidgeon comes a week after Gov. Chris Gregoire said she would propose same-sex marriage legislation for Washington state.

The proposed initiative, not yet numbered, would reaffirm the state's Defense of Marriage Act, which defines marriage as between "a male" and "a female." The initiative seeks to slightly tweak the statute's language, changing it to "one man" and "one woman."

10 January - Seen at Birther Report

"GunnyRed said…[Reply] When I'm dead & gone the ONLY thing I care for anybody to remember about me is this: I was never fooled for a second by this imposter Obama. He does not meet the definition of "natural-born Citizen" as defined and understood by our Founding Fathers because his alleged father was not a U.S. citizen. What is even worse is that Obama himself was born a British Subject in Kenya before later being adopted in Indonesia. Obama attended Occidental College as Moslem Barry Soetoro & rec'd a Fulbright scholarship for foreign students. The Hawaiian Birth Certificate is a forgery and he is currently using stolen (CT) (redacted). Congress knows this info but refuses to impeach this fraud. Jesus is the Son of God. Obama is a son of the devil. January 10, 2012 10:39 AM"

So when you're dead, you want people to remember you as a gullible racist fool?? Okay, I think you'll succeed at that.

10 January - The motion to dismiss in Sorensen v Kennedy is filed.

(Scribd link here)

"6. The present case is a copycat filing which is virtually identical to Albert J. Hendershot, Jr. v. Mark Kennedy, No. CV-2011-002321 (Jeff Co. Cir. Ct.), in which this court dismissed the plaintiff's claims with prejudice. See Order of January 9, 2012, a copy of which is attached hereto.

7. The present action is due to be dismissed on the grounds of res judicator and/or collateral estoppel. See Harold Sorensen v Bob Riley, No. CV-2008-1906 (Montgomery Co. (Ala.) Cir. Ct.) (suit challenging President Obama's eligibility as a Natural Born Citizen)."

Well, I guess Sorensen could argue they're two completely different cases because:

In 2008, Sorensen believed that Obama wasn't a natural born citizen because Sorensen thought he was born in Kenya.

In 2012, Sorensen believed that Obama wasn't a natural born citizen because Sorensen thought you needed two US citizen parents.

See, completely different!!

"8. The present action is frivolous, groundless in fact and in law, vexatious, interposed for an improper purpose, and is "without substantial justification" as that term is used in the Alabama Litigation Accountability Act, § 12-19-270, et seq. Code of Alabama (1975). This Court should award the Defendant his costs and attorneys fees incurred in responding to this frivolous case.

WHEREFORE the Defendants moves this Court to dismiss this case with prejudice."

Get the feeling Barry Ragsdale isn't messing around??

10 January - Professional seditionist Sharon Rondeau allows Al Hendershot to spin his dismissal.

"I asked for the motion for her to recuse herself and she refused, so I asked to withdraw the case and find a different judge. Then she came up with the statement that my reason for her to recuse herself was based on the fact that she was “black like President Obama.”

Ignoring the fact that we only have Hendershot's take on this, I will point out again that the first person to bring race into this was the attorney Hendershot wanted admitted to the case pro hac vice - Dr. Orly Taitz

"On January 6, Judge Helen Shores Lee denied Hendershot’s Motion to Stay which requested that the January 9 hearing be postponed after Atty. Orly Taitz agreed to represent him. Hendershot had asked that the hearing be rescheduled for the end of January so that he could “properly argue the cases” raised by the Democrat Party’s attorney. "

In other words, you were trying to run out the clock when you knew the DemocratIC party had a deadline to meet.

11 January - The Birmingham News reports on Sorensen's demand that the judge in Sorensen v Kennedy recuse herself because she's of a dusky hue.

"Acting as his own lawyer, Sorenson wrote his recusal motion should be granted "due to racial bias, lack of judicial discretion as well as lack of knowledge of the U.S. Constitution, Article II, Section 1, Clause 5."

Sorenson also filed suit after the 2008 presidential election challenging both Obama's and Sen. John McCain's citizenship and qualification to be included on state ballots. A Montgomery County judge dismissed that suit in 2009, court records show."

Oh, and it seems Hendershot even admitted this was part of a group effort.

"A similar suit has been filed by a Pell City man in St. Clair County. It is part of an informal effort in several Southern states to keep Obama off their ballots, Hendershot has said. They contend Obama is not a natural-born citizen and that he is using a forged birth certificate and a fake social security number.

Judges have dismissed at least seven similar suits since 2008."

More like 93 suits.

11 January - One gets the idea that Thomas MacLeran discussing the state of Civil Rights in this country is a lot like Andrew Jackson discussing Cherokee land rights in Georgia. Or having a discussion on Roma or Jewish civil rights in 1930's and 40's Germany.

"It’s being washed right down the drain, and those who benefited the most from the Civil Rights that emerged from the struggle that was started by one lady, Rosa Parks on a bus in 1955, are losing it all, and the crazy thing is that the target group are the very people who are trashing their own future. All of the advancement in human rights in the past 50 years, in the past 500, and in the past 2,000, are all being systematically washed down the drain, snuffed out of existence, as if they never were."

"Wahhh! They got uppity and forgot their place!!"

" History is being rewritten, as for example, when Obama said that the United States has a “mutual interest and mutual respect for Islam” when in fact there’s no country that wants anything to do with Islam. But then, as they say, to the victor go the spoils, one of which is the mastery to rewrite history in their image.

Yes, the United States has a history with Islam, and they were called the Barbary Pirates, and we won that fight, thanks to the staunch stand of President Thomas Jefferson."

That would be the same conflict that was ended with the Treaty of Tripoli, which had the paragraph:

"As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion,—as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mussulmen,—and as the said States never entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries."

Funny thing that.

"The enemy is Islam-loving government employees, or, to put it another way, the enemy of the people of the United States is their very own government which refuses to acknowledge that Western Civilization is at war with Islam, to the death, and there is no room, nor place, for second place."

Threaty and bigoted. A twofer!

"LTC Terry Lakin was tried and convicted in a military court that saw the UCMJ become a totally meaningless document, and if the ineligible usurper masquerading as our president is reelected, the Constitution will also be but a distant memory, as will the Magna Carta, the Articles of Confederation, the Declaration of Independence."

They've been big on invoking the Magna Carta of late, haven't they?

"All of the advances in Civil Rights will be wiped from the memories of the citizens of the United States. Rosa Parks’s name and memory will not even generate a footnote in the America of the future. And we have Obots and spineless leaders, military and otherwise, to thank for their cowardliness. Think of the lives given and lost for the cause of freedom, and weep."

"Wahhh! We haven't had a military coup against the scary black man!! WAHHH!!!"

"My name is Thomas Gregory MacLeran, and our government better fear me and all like-minded Patriots who believe in the law of equality among all legal citizens of the United States of America, so help me God."

Oh, I have no doubt people are keeping an eye on anti-Constitutional seditionists like Thomas MacLeran.

11 January - The Pest and eFail reports that the State of Georgia's response to a petition for a super duper grand jury to investigate the Georgia Secretary of State for doubleplus ungood nonbirtherthink was, surprise, "no".

And MJ Blanchard takes being told "no" has well as any other birther. He throws a tantrum and gets all throaty.

"Laws have been broken, allegedly, by the Secretary of State and/or his designee in the Georgia elections division. I have one last avenue to go down before I can be satisfied that citizens defending the remnants of the Constitution have no redress of grievances through the judicial, administrative, and legislative branches of government."

And the would be??

"Please note that if you feel that you see “sedition” in my comments and must notify the “authorities”; that has already been done. I am meeting with the “authorities” this very Thursday. We meet fairly often to discuss issues surrounding federal intervention in violations of the 4th Amendment, prevention of perceived legal recourse in the 2nd Amendment, para-militarization of civilian law enforcement, "

O RLY?? And what "authorities" are you talking about? The members of your local militia group? Carl Swenssen?? Your Rice Krispies???

"…but most specifically to discuss progress towards resolution of the abject judicial corruption of the judiciary and grand jury system in east Tennessee."

*Chuckle* Well, you better not talk to Carl Swensson then, He tends to blab to the FBI……

"Are you familiar with what goes on in the judicial “system” in east Tennessee? Do you see a parallel in what goes on there and what is happening in Georgia? "

Well, in the sense that you have a batch of seditious wackaloons claiming corruption in the legal system because nobody will hear their pleas to get rid of that uppity darkie in the White House, yes, there are parallels.

11 January - Someone must have given the Pest and eFail a laxative. Because I otherwise can't explain this pile of manure.

"I have finally figured out where this is coming from and it explains a lot of the hostility found in the courts against citizen voters and their concern with Constitutional Eligibility. It is the understanding of the definition of “natural born citizen” itself and the document that controls that definition."

You mean the US Constitution and 200+ years of established case law?

Black’s Law Dictionary is considered secondary only to U.S. Supreme Court rulings as a legal source. It was first published in the 19th century and is in its Ninth Edition. However, in 1991, the Fifth Edition, the definition for natural born citizens was stated as follows:

Natural born citizen. Persons who are born within the jurisdiction of a national government, i.e. in its territorial limits, or those born of citizens temporarily residing abroad. (Black’s Law Dictionary, 6th Ed., 1991, p.1026)

Section 4.1.
Native. A nature-born subject or citizen; a denizen by birth; one who owes his domicile or citizenship to the fact of his birth within the country referred to. The term may also include one born abroad, if his parents were citizens of the country, and not permanently residing in foreign parts. U. S. v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U. S. 649, 18 S.Ct. 456, 42 L.Ed. 890; New Hartford v. Canaan, 54 Conn. 39, 5 A. 360; Oken v. Johnson, 160 Minn. 217, 199 N.W. 910.

Funny how legal references that predate Obama's election all seem to have the same definition.

"This is the controlling definition being protected by the judicial system. It is not grounded in the Constitution but in British Common law. "

Well, considering that much of US law was derived from British Common Law back in the late 1700's…..

"Any lawsuit going forward needs to consider this and address it head-on by declaring the sitting judge a hostile participant to the hearing biased in favor of British common law instead of the U.S. Constitution."

O RLY?? Let us know how that goes for you, skippy.

11 January - This is at Free Republic, so take it with a grain of salt.

"Prayers For FReeper Hero - Roaddog 727 Terminal - He Fought Obama In Court
MB26
Posted on January 11, 2012 1:44:56 PM PST by MindBender26

Stefan Cook, Roaddog 727 on FR, in terminally I'll in the Tampa VA. His story is long and distinguished, but here is the synopsis

Stefan is a Lieutenant Colonel in the Army Reserve. He was called to active duty in 2009. He was worried about the legality of an order from a POTUS who might not be legally elected because of citizenship questions. He had legal concerns that he could be accused of war crimes if an order to take military action was held to be invalid because it emanated from an improper authority

Stefan sued, and rather than proving citizenship, Obama's lawyers had Stefan's orders cancelled, making Stefan's litigation moot.

Cowards,

There is more on thins American hero, but this is on an iPad in a moving car.

Prayers for his comfort please.

I wouldn't call him a "hero" for being a birther. And he volunteered to go THEN filed his lawsuit with Dr. Orly. When he did that, the military treated this as his changing his mind (which he could do 48 hours before deployment). Obama's lawyers weren't even in the courtroom, as the lawsuit was against Col. Wanda Good, representing the US Army

That being said, I hope that either he recovers well and fully, or that his passing is quiet, easy and surrounded by family and loved ones.

11 January - The Pest and eFail reports on Stefan Cook.

" On the evening of January 10, 2012, The Post & Email received an email from a close friend of Maj. Stefan Cook, who is reportedly in a Florida hospital suffering from a non-malignant but inoperable tumor located near his stomach."

Non-malignant but inoperable??

"Last time I spoke to Stefan was about a week ago and we were working on getting him up to Jacksonville for a new treatment at University of FL. At some point after that call he aspirated and had to be admitted to the hospital and put on a ventilator which he was taken off yesterday. "

"Just heard from Stefan’s daughter this AM. They are not expecting Stefan to recover from this and it is just a matter of hours or days before he is gone."

That sounds a lot more serious than a non-malignant tumor.

Again, my hopes for his recovery if possible, and a passing filled with grace and joy if recovery isn't possible.

"Our story about Maj. Cook’s challenge of Obama’s constitutional eligibility was written exactly two years ago yesterday. Cook had been represented by Atty. Orly Taitz in a federal court in Georgia, after which Taitz had been sanctioned $20,000 by Judge Clay Land for allegedly filing a “frivolous” lawsuit and a “political dispute.”

Actually, no. Dr. Orly was sanctioned for her conduct in Rhodes v MacDonald, not Cook v Good. And Rhodes v MacDonald happened AFTER Cook v Good, not the other way around.

11 January - Arizona becomes the third state to come out with a 2012 birther bill. And it's the same repeat offender, Rep. Carl Seel, R-Phoenix.

"Last year, Seel met with one of the more prolific “birthers,” Donald Trump, to discuss the bill.

Although the president released a copy of his long-form birth certificate in April, some conservatives have continued to insist that more accountability is needed for candidates running for office.

Seel said that he still has questions about Obama’s citizenship and that he doesn’t believe voters are tired of hearing about the “birther” theory.

“I don’t think voters will ever get tired of seeing their elected officials working to uphold the Constitution and defend the country,” he said.

Seel added that he had worked with the Secretary of State Ken Bennett to get its input before he moved forward with the revamped measure, which has not yet been filed.

While he had not yet spoken with the Governor’s Office, he said that he expects Bennett’s approval of the bill to help win her support.

Matt Roberts, spokesman for the Secretary of State’s office, confirmed that Bennett had met with Seel and has been “generally supportive” of the concept, but added that he couldn’t definitively say whether Bennett supported the measure until he saw the wording."

We have some commentary about the upcoming Georgia Birther Ballot Jihad, while Dr. Orly further abuses those pre-signed forms. Larry Sinclair's kilt-clad disbarred attorney makes a reappearance in Birtherstan. The Kansas Speaker of the House puts the "KKK" in "Klassy". Dr. Kate continues her journey into the sewer, showing more open racism in the process.

Van Irion shows the common birther ignorance of the Constitution. Dr. Orly whines about people calling her racist by making racist comments. Salon writes about the "Anti-Obama Cult". Al Hendershot has his day in court - and promptly acts the sore loser about it. And old-time birther Harold Sorensen fires the next round in the Alabama Birther Ballot Jihad.

6 January - And Right Wing Watch notices how Joseph Farah is using Arpaio to milk the birthers and make World Nut Daily's budget run more in the black.

"A few months back the birther website WorldNetDaily teamed-up with Arizona’s Sheriff Joe Arpaio to launch an investigation into President Obama’s birth certificate, with stands to financially benefit both parties involved. WND editor Joseph Farah today sent out a fundraising note telling members that “Obama is not eligible to be president” and urging them to donate to Arpaio’s “Cold Case Posse.” Since Farah claims that “there is nearly 100 percent agreement among qualified forensics investigators and document experts” that President Obama’s birth certificate is a forgery, one wonders why Farah wants to go through with an “investigation” by Arpaio’s scandal-ridden office if he already believes that the birth certificate is indisputably a fake document.

Contributions to the “Cold Case Posse” doesn’t only go to support Arpaio, but also bolster the coffers of WND: “A portion of all contributions will go to support WND’s efforts, with another portion going to Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s Cold Case Posse, set to issue its report in February 2012.” Contributors are also able to receive Jerome Corsi’s “Where’s the Birth Certificate?,” which is published by none other than WND Books:"

6 January - World Nut Daily reports (and Birther Reports steals) that the aptly-named Gary Kreep files an en banc request to have the entire 9th circuit court of appeals judges reconsider the decision in Keyes/Barnett v Obama.

"The petition for a rehearing of the full bench was filed today by Kreep on behalf of his clients. Taitz earlier told WND her plaintiffs will pursue further action but which step would be taken was as yet unclear."

She has to wait for the rats infesting her nitrous-addled brainpan to figure it out

"Kreep’s clients are Wiley S. Drake, a candidate for the White House on the American Independent Party ticket in California; and Markham Robinson, a certified California elector for the American Independent Party.

The judges had observed: “These plaintiffs argue that they have standing because, as candidates running against Obama in the 2008 election, they had an interest in having a fair competition. … If Obama entered the presidential race without meeting the requirements for the office, they contend, the candidates did not have a fair opportunity to obtain votes in their favor.”

The opinion from the panel of judges Harry Pregerson, Ray Fisher and Marsha Berzon explained the concept is called “competitive standing,” and they affirmed it as legitimate grounds for concern.

“This notion of ‘competitive standing’ has been recognized by several circuits,” the opinion said. “We, too, have upheld the notion of ‘competitive standing.’ In Owen v. Mulligan, we held that the ‘potential loss of an election’ was an injury-in-fact sufficient to give a local candidate and Republican party officials standing. In that case, the candidate for local office sued the Postal Service for giving his rival a preferential mailing rate, in violation of its own regulations.”

The opinion said the case had the candidate and party officials seeking “to prevent their opponent from gaining an unfair advantage.” However, in Obama’s case, the court panel simply said that once the inauguration was held, the claims evaporated, because the plaintiffs no longer were “candidates.”"

7 January - Cody Robert Judy posts a fantasy debate between himself and Obama.

Cody Judy is off his meds. Badly. And his "debate style" sounds a LOT like "why aren't you answering my questions, BOY??"

7 January - At the "Atlanta 11th Circuit Court Examiner" version of the Fake Examiner….

"Taitz’s (and the birther’s) attempt at using a challenge and opinion of the Missouri Supreme Court based on an 1800s lawsuit involving women’s suffrage, is, at best, extremely weak. The challenge appears, on the surface, not be on the question of President Obama’s true citizenship, but directly aimed at making certain that another citizen who is not a “free white person” can ever be elected President again. Their premise, by their own words in this document, is not based on President Obama’s white American mother, Ann Dunham, whose name is never once mentioned in this document, but on his Kenyan father, Barack Obama Sr., and now comes the highly racist and antagonistic viewpoint from which Taitz and her conspiracy theorists truly rest their case.

Simply put, the birthers will neither rest nor be satisfied until President Obama stops being at least partially black. And the more unfortunate part of this theory is that the initial challenge itself came from a black American Republican by the name of Alan Keyes back in Chicago when President Obama was running for the Illinois U.S. Senate.

The best thing Judge Malihi can do, under the circumstances, is make an example out of Taitz and Farrar and close the books on this one for good. And even that is not likely to make them go away."

7 January - Remember Montgomery Blair Sibley?? He was the kilt-clad (now disbarred) attorney who showed up with Larry Sinclair, when Sinclair went to speak at the PUMAs at the National Press Club in 2008?

Well, he's running a vanity campaign for President. And suing Obama.

"On Tuesday, Sibley filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia against President "Barrack" Obama. The misspelling is ironic given the nature of the suit.

The suit seeks a judgment "ousting Obama as President of the United States and/or preventing him from holding the franchise of being on the ballot for that office in 2012 insomuch as he is not a 'natural born Citizen' of the United States as required by Article II, sec. 1, of the U.S. Constitution." In the suit, Sibley presents the evidence that he is a natural-born citizen, and is eligible to be president. He is asking for a jury trial.

Other "birther" suits have been denied on standing grounds, meaning that the courts have found the parties bringing the suits haven't shown they'll be personally affected by the outcome of the case. In his complaint, Sibley argues that because of his own run for the presidency, he does have the requisite personal connection to the suit's outcome."

Said blog post is here. And guess what? He's a de Vattelist.

A PDF of his lawsuit is here.

"Expert document examiners have examined each of the COLBs and found significant indications of fraud raising the very real specter that Obama was not even born in the United States."

And who are these "experts"??

Ron Polland/Polarik, Douglas Vogt, and Paul Irey, None of which is a forensic document specialist, all of of which have shown substantial bias long before they performed an "analysis."

7 January - Keep it classy Kansas.

"The Republican speaker of the Kansas statehouse issued an apology this week after sending emails from his personal account referring to First Lady Michelle Obama as “Mrs. YoMama” and quoting a Bible verse cited by some as a reference to presidential assassination.

Kansas House Speaker Mike O’Neal [above], from the city of Hutchison, sent an email before Christmas that compared the president’s wife to the Dr. Seuss character The Grinch, with a tagline asking: “Twins separated at birth?”

“I’m sure you’ll join me in wishing Mrs. YoMama a wonderful, long Hawaii Christmas vacation — at our expense, of course,” the forward read.

In another of O’Neal’s emails, he referenced Psalm 109 from the Old Testament, which reads in part:

May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow.

May his children be wandering beggars; may they be driven from their ruined homes.

May a creditor seize all he has; may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor.

May no one extend kindness to him or take pity on his fatherless children.

O’Neal wrote: “At last — I can honestly voice a Biblical prayer for our president! Look it up — it is word for word! Let us all bow our heads and pray. Brothers and Sisters, can I get an AMEN? AMEN!!!!!!”

Charming…..

7 January - One gets the feeling Dr. Kate is upset at the fact that there's not been a military coup against Obama yet.

"I would add that this administration is loaded with Muslims who intend on destroying America–the U.S. Military, the Department of Homeland Security, the White House, the Justice Department, and the Energy Department."

Racist much??

"We have a spineless military command that wrings its hands instead of taking action as Obama shares our most precious military hardware with our enemies, conducts unlawful activities every single day, and destroys our economy."

"Wahhh!! Where's my military coup!!!!!"

"We are at the point where the only ‘candidates’ that Americans can trust are the write-ins, or soon to be write-ins, like Ron Paul, Montgomery Blair Sibley, John Dummet, Sarah Palin, and others. "

"Blessed St. Sarah Moosekiller, warrior huntress of the north, protect us from the Scary Black Man!!"

And in response to a picture of Michelle Obama:

"drkate
January 7, 2012 at 9:18 pm
who’s the muzzie in the background in full burka gear?"

Wow, she's not even hiding the racism anymore. Though she's not the only one:

"no-nonsense-nancy
January 7, 2012 at 9:31 pm
You have good eyes, Kate. I didn’t even see that person. A sister muzzie, maybe?"

Such charming people

7 January - Van Irion discusses his portion of the Georgia Birther Ballot Jihad with the Pest and eFail.

"The reason we are going first and being heard separately is that I plan on calling one witness — my client, David Welden. I plan on asking him three questions; that’s it, we’re done, and making one argument. The presentation of evidence and testimony will take 15 minutes or less. We’ll probably argue the law for quite some time after that, but that’s the whole point. "

The argument being:

"Here it is: Barack Obama’s father was never a U.S. citizen. The Supreme Court, in Minor v. Happersett, defined “natural born Citizen” under the Constitution as “being born in this country with both parents being U.S. citizens at the time the candidate was born.” That’s “natural born Citizen;” that’s the Supreme Court’s definition; it’s never been overturned or challenged or questioned; therefore, Barack Obama is not qualified to be president by his own admission."

That's going to take less than 15 minutes to rebut

"The good news is that Judge Michael Malihi was the first judge anywhere to actually issue a subpoena to the Hawaii Department of Health to a) show up and be questioned, and b) have the original written birth certificate with you or a darn good explanation why you don’t, and the microfilm. "

Actually that was Dr. Orly using a pre-signed form, not the judge himself.

"I was told that the Deputy Attorney General, Jill Nagamine, has said that Hawaii doesn’t have to answer a subpoena from another state.

Oh, that’s hilarious. That violates the Constitution of the United States and is akin to seceding from the nation. If the state of Hawaii does that, the judge has the right to jail them. "

O RLY??

"The way that works is that he writes a contempt order and sends it to the law enforcement of the state of Hawaii, and if they fail, then they’re violating the Constitution and we need to get the federal court in Hawaii involved. The Full Faith and Credit Clause of the Constitution states “must honor the judgments from courts duly constituted in other states.” "

Funny how they don't think the Full Faith and Credit Clause doesn't cover birth certificates, but covers subpoenas out of a court's jurisdiction.

7 January - Over at Dr. Orly's House o' Malware (malware and redirect warning)

"YOU CAN SEE HOW OBAMA SUPPORTERS IN THE MEDIA ARE COMPLETELY MISREPRESENTING THE CASE AND THE ISSUES AND CALLING ME AND MY CLIENT RACISTS. PLEASE, RESPOND TO THEM, I SIMPLY DON’T HAVE TIME TO RESPOND TO THEM
Posted on | January 7, 2012"

The irony being in comments: (bold face mine)

"orly taitz January 8th, 2012 @ 5:23 am I can’t represent them yet. I forwarded a petition for pro had vice to the judge, but did not hear from her yet. It takes time for the petition to be processed with all the suppoting docs and to be granted. Al contacted me the last moment, so I am not representing him yet. Also, somebody in Alabama needs to file a new case with another judge. Judge Lee refused to gave any continuance, which is typically granted. She might be biased in favor of a fellow African-American lawyer and politician. They might need a different judge and a different court"

So you're already claiming that Hendershot is going to lose monday because the judge is, you know, one of "them darkies…."

Gee, I can't imagine WHY someone might think you're a racist pile o' poo……

8 January - Looks like Dr. Orly was careless. (malware and redirect warning)

"When I landed in HI, I got a call from an NBC reporter from Atlanta, who wanted to interview me on SKYPE. When I opened my briefcase, my laptop was not there. I thought, that I might have forgotten it during TSA check, I called TSA lost and found, they never responded. When I arrived in LAX and went to TSA, they said, that it wasn’t found.

It never happened to me before. When I arrived in HI, I went to FEDEX-Kinkos, I needed to notarize my Pro Hac Vice papers for AL. They did not have a notary, so I walked to a bank, came back, wanted to scan and e-mail the docs, was told that the Internet is down at FEDEX and will be down till the next day. Luckily the Internet was working at another FEDEX. Even my glasses were gone, luckily I had another pair of glasses. I thought that the glasses could’ve fallen out of my purse, but the laptop could not fall out. It is a set back, but I will manage."

This is why it's a good idea to have LoJack for Laptops and/or GadgetTrac on one's laptops, to find them when they grow legs and go walkabout. I suspect she was careless where she placed it and someone picked it up and walked away with it. Not surprising. considering how addled she normally acts.

"judge Nishimura just threw it in, stating that she will not talk about the subpoena, she will talk about it on January 26, which of course is the date for the hearing in GA."

Of course she would't talk about it, IT WASN'T PART OF THE APPEAL FOR THE CASE IN QUESTION!!!!

"For her to refuse to enforce it during the hearing and schedule it for January 26, the day of the hearing in GA, is indescribable."

No, it's called "procedure". Something you seem to have problems with.

8 January - Salon writes about the "Anti-Obama Cult".

"The implosion of right-wing ideology and the persistence of the culture war toxin might have been enough by itself to create the anti-Obama cult, but two other factors also played a role. The first was his race. For many right-wingers, Obama was a foreign object, whose unexpected entrance into the body politic activated their immune systems – hence the “birther” movement and other bizarre right-wing obsessions. Whether the right’s aversion to Obama constitutes classic racism is a Talmudic question; what is undeniable is that his race activated a horde of (literally) white cells, rushing to expel the invader. Like organisms, cults always delineate themselves by drawing sharp lines between Us and Them."

8 January - The AP writes about Al Hendershot and the Alabama Birther Ballot Jihad.

"Birmingham businessman Albert Hendershot Jr. contends Obama is not a natural-born citizen, his Social Security number is fake and his birth certificate is too.

"Any idiot with a computer in the basement can make one," Hendershot said."

You mean like Ron Polland/Polarik??

"The Alabama Democratic Party calls Hendershot's argument political fantasy and says he's part of a loosely knit group of Internet buddies trying to undermine the president's candidacy."

I'd say the Alabama Democratic Party did their homework.

"Hendershot argues that he has standing because he will be disenfranchised as a voter if an improper candidate appears on Alabama's ballot. He wants the judge to require the president to produce his original birth certificate and Social Security application to prove he meets the constitutional qualifications for president."

Somehow I suspect the "You better show us your papers, boy" argument won't work.

"The results, he said, could have far-reaching consequences. "If he's not qualified to be president, then everything he's done as president has to be reversed," Hendershot said."

Ah yes, the magic reset button, so beloved of birtherstani.

"Hendershot, a former stockbroker who founded a debt collection firm, said he voted for Obama in 2008, but then became concerned about whether the president's birth certificate and some other documents were legitimate."

Why do I suspect he's lying about this??

"If Hendershot loses before the Democratic circuit judge, he said he will appeal to the Alabama Supreme Court, where all the justices are Republicans.

"That's a conservative court here in Alabama," he said."

Good luck with that. Conservative judges have also told the birthers "no" before.

8 January - Sharon Rondeau gives an update on Walter Fitzpatrick.

"Visitors to see Walter Francis Fitzpatrick, III at the Monroe County jail over the last two weeks have reported that Fitzpatrick has a diabetic ulcer on his heel and rarely gets to shower. The risk of skin infection for diabetics necessitates scrupulous hygiene and can lead to amputation if the wound does not heal properly. Elevated blood sugar levels present in diabetes cause skin wounds to heal much more slowly than in patients without the disease.

The NYU Langone Medical Center reports that “Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU’s) are highly prevalent and the primary source of hospitalizations and amputations in persons with diabetes.” Ulcers are a result of decreased blood flow to the area and loss of sensation. The medical team at the center recommends that diabetics “wash…feet daily” and “The moment a person with diabetes suffers a break in the skin of the foot, they are at serious risk of amputation due to their bodies [sic] weakened ability to fight infection. Of the more than 20 million people in the US with diabetes, as many as 25% will develop a foot ulcer in their lifetime. Of these, 14-24% will end in amputation.”
Complications of diabetes can lead to sepsis, a severe bacterial infection of the blood.

When we asked one visitor if he believed the ulcer was improving over time, he responded, “I have to trust the nurses. They inspect the ulcer and change the bandage daily. "

You know, if Fitzpatrick wasn't handling his diabetes properly in the past, then that might explain some of his bouts of irrationality.

9 January - The judge in the Alabama Birther Ballot Jihad tells Hendershot "How about No??"

"A Jefferson County judge this morning dismissed a Birmingham man's lawsuit seeking to keep President Barack Obama off primary ballots March 13 in Alabama.

After a hearing in her Birmingham courtroom, Circuit Judge Helen Shores Lee ruled that the courts have no authority to tell the state political parties who they can include on their primary ballots.

Albert E. Hendershot filed the suit Dec. 13 against Mark Kennedy, chairman of the Alabama Democratic Party. He contends he has "staggering" evidence that Obama is using a forged birth certificate and fake Social Security card, and that he is ineligible to serve as president because he is not a natural-born citizen."

9 January - The Associated Press reports on Hendershot's denial.

"Hendershot asked the judge to hold a full-blown hearing on the evidence so he could prove Obama isn’t eligible to serve as president.

“We have people who are just waiting to come to Alabama and testify,” he told the judge.

“Is that it?” she asked.

“That’s all I have,” said Hendershot.

Lee then dismissed the case and said she would issue a written order later. Ragsdale said Obama opponents could still file similar challenges elsewhere in the state in a bid to keep the president of the Alabama ballot.

“One thing I’ve learned about birthers is you can never say die,” Ragsdale said outside court."

Yeah, no kidding.

9 January - And video of Ragsdale.

He's right. The facts or the law don't matter to birthers.

9 January - "Second Front" has the Hendershot dismissal And no, it's not over…

"According to a post on Judge Mark Kennedy’s Facebook profile, the dismissal was appealed in St. Clair county just hours after the hearing. Judge Kennedy was also made aware of another similar filing in Jefferson County today.

“Within less than two hours AFTER the Jefferson County Circuit Court dismissed the ‘birther’ lawsuit filed against me, I have been sued AGAIN by another person in Jefferson County claiming the same thing,” Kennedy wrote. “Talk about clogging up the court system….”

Kennedy wrote that he would ask for legal fees when he opposes the next round of birther suits, and in a later post called on Republicans “to put a stop to this since they are all over Democrats about filing frivolous lawsuits!”"

9 January - Dr. Orly is getting a lot of use out of that pre-signed subpoena form.

Let's hope the judge has a low tolerance for "abuse of process".

9 January - The Supreme Court makes a decision on the Tea Party / Birther case Purpura v Sebelius.

"Jan 9 2012 Petition DENIED."

9 January - At the Pest and eFail, a whiney letter from Robert Laity that his New York Birther Ballot Jihad seems to have been ignored.

"There are Ballot challenges being lodged against Obama in all 50 States. He skated by the first time. I urge your committee to not allow him to usurp the Presidency and to defraud the voters of New York a second time. There is NO “President” obama"

9 January - Al Hendershot spins his denial at Birther Report.

"The opposing attorney told the Judge that she did not have jurisdiction to hear the case. Judge Lee stated in a meeting in her chambers that the Motion for Recusal was denied. Judge Lee's comment regarding my reasoning of judicial bias stated: "Is the bias due to me (Judge Lee) and our President Obama are both black?"

Gee, I can't imagine why she might think that.

"The Judge denied my constitutional right to legal council"

Translation - "Wahh, she didn't give me enough time to bring Dr. Orly in after all.!!"

"This Morning unbenounced to the court, there were two other cases filed at exactly 8:30AM (before my case was even heard at 9:15AM) in two other separate cases asking for the same temporary injunction. So technically these two other cases will have to be heard on their merits."

And dismissed accordingly.

"So we snow have two more temporary injunctions which will still prevent the anointed one from being added to the 2012 Primary Ballot in Alabama by 01/19/2012. They will be served again…"

And the cases will be dismissed. Again.

You know, for someone who claims not to be a birther, Hendershot is awfully familiar with the birther talking points and sneering commentary….

9 January - The primates at Birther Report are busy flinging poo about the Hendershot dismissal.

"bobs box said…[Reply] Since she is black, the welfare state elected her! January 6, 2012 2:55 PM"

"But we're not racist, honest!!"

"Anonymous said…[Reply] Shut it you Obot asshats. I know this woman and YES she IS the most liberal judge in the state, probably the country (not to mention dumb as a box of rocks). NO WAY Hendershot could get a fair hearing from that bitch. The freaking race card is all you idiots have left and trust me, we're not buying it. Obozo is half white in case you couldn't figure that part out. There's nothing racist about calling somebody out for being liberal and stupid. Stick the race card up your ignorant asses. I'm sick of seeing you pull it out. January 7, 2012 8:05 PM"

"How DARE you claim we're racist just because we say racist things!!!"

And Al Hendershot shows his true colors.

"theobamahustle said…[Reply]
We will be filing a Formal Complaint to the Adminstrative Judge and the Head Judicial Disciplinary Board against Judge Lee for being Racially Biased as she admitted to being so. She did not allow me a Court Reporter or Legal Counsel. She did not hear the case based on its merit.

9 January - And sure enough yet another lawsuit shows up to continue the Alabama Birther Ballot Jihad, this one by Harold Sorensen.

Harold Sorensen is somewhat familiar to me. Last week he was the one who wrote the letter that the Pest and eFail published warning the Alabama Republican Party that they better not nominate Bobby Jindal or Mario Rubio, lest they incur de Vattel's jealous wrath. And last month he had a rally the troops birther blather there as well.

He also shows up in Tesibria's Birther Scorecard(PDF), having filed a complaint (PDF) on 4 Dec. 2008, (Case CV-08-1906-2008), "Sorensen v Riley", against Alabama Governor Bob Riley, the DNC, the RNC, Barack Obama, and John McCain. The complaint was based around the idea that Obama and McCain, then being US Senators, were somehow ineligible to be President. and that neither were "Natural Born" citizens.

"The new suit, filed today in Jefferson County Circuit Court by Harold Sorensen of Luverne, also contends Obama is ineligible to serve as president and should be barred from Alabama ballots.

"In 2008, the (Democratic National Committee) certified an ineligible candidate, Barack Obama, and thus defrauded the American people," Sorenson wrote in his lawsuit. "This was a violation of the basic voter's rights and Obama's subsequent usurpation constitutes the greatest crime ever perpetrated against the American people."

Civil cases are randomly assigned, and Sorenson's suit wound up with the same judge who this morning dismissed a suit by Albert E. Hendershot."

Oh dear. *chuckle*

And a warning:

"Another similar suit also was filed today in St. Clair County.

"This is nothing short of judge shopping," Ragsdale said in response to the new suits. "Sometimes you have to teach people that 'no' means 'no.' We will definitely be seeking sanctions and attorney's fees from these other plaintiffs if they refuse to dismiss their frivolous lawsuits." "

BTW, there's a funny part of Sorensen's 2008 case.

"11. To be "natural born" under Article II, Section 1, Clause 5, the person seeking such recognition must have exited his mother's womb, or otherwise been removed there from, within the judicial or territorial power of anyone of the 50 States of the United States of America and there will be no exceptions regarding this Complaint."

Wow. I thought it was a matter of known fact among the birthers that EVERYONE was taught in school de Vattel's sacred definition of "Natural Born Citizen".

However, in his brand new case (PDF), we have:

"6. It is undisputed that Mr. Obama's father was not a U.S. citizen. To Plaintiffs' knowledge Candidate Obama has never denied the fact that his father was not a U.S. Citizen, nor has he ever made any statements contrary to this filet. The U.S. Supreme Court has defined "natural born citizens" as "all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens." See minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 162, 167 (1875). The Court in Happersetl did go on to state that other subcategories of people mayor may not be within the broader term "citizen." However, it did so only after specifically identifying the narrower category "natural-born citizens." ld The Happtersett Court clearly understood and established that "citizen" is a much broader term than "natural-born citizens." Its discussion of "citizen" does not negate or alter its earlier definition of the term "natural-born citizens." See ld At 167-168. This precedent has never been questioned by any subsequent Supreme Court. This precedent is binding. Because it is undisputed that Candidate Obama can never be a natural-bom citizen, as that term was defined by the U.S. Supreme Court. Therefore, Candidate Obama cannot meet the Constitutional requirements to hold the office of President. See U.S. Constitution, Article II, Section 1."

I think this is one of the better examples of birthers "moving the goalposts" In December of 2008, it was claimed that "Natural Born" meant "born on US soil". By January of 2012, the SAME PERSON is claiming that no, it's two US citizen parents, obviously.

The entire document is 41 pages. Most of which is Linda Jordan's admission she broke the law, Douglas Vogt's pile o' poo, Susan Daniels "research", and the proof Greg Hollister broke the law. Wonder if anyone should mention to Mr. Ragsdale that some of the information Sorensen is providing was obtained illegally.....
